npm run-script complexity // shows complexity metrics

Background

A major feature of uTest is our tester-matching algorithm. We are able to drilldown from a community of over 80k testers with multiple devices, to 10-20 testers that best meets a customer needs. As you can image, this is a complicated algorithm that takes multiple dimensions into account.

Your goal will be to write a simpler matching algorithm that takes two matching criteria (country and device) and presents a sorted list of results. The sort order is based on what the system is suggesting a user should select (more details below).

Data Set Provided

  • testers.csv: CSV list of testers. Each row corresponds to a tester.
  • devices.csv: CSV list of all available devices. Each row corresponds to a mobile device. This is all the possible devices a tester can have.
  • tester_device.csv: CSV list of tester to device. These are the devices a tester has. Each row corresponds to a tester and a device.
  • bugs.csv: CSV list of all the bugs filed by a tester. Each row corresponds to a bug filed by a tester and contains a tester and the device the bug was reported on.

Assignment

Write an application that will match testers based on a user search criteria. The search results should be ranked in order of experience. Experience is measured by the amount of bugs a tester filed for a given device. You can use any third party libraries, but be prepared to discuss why you decided to use it.

Search Criteria

  • Country: values should be collected from "tester.csv" and should also have an option for "ALL". User can select one or more countries. Multiple selections are treated as "OR".
  • Device: values should be collected from "devices.csv" and should also have an option for "ALL". User can select one or more devices. Multiple selections are treated as "OR".

Walk Through Example 1

Search Criteria: Country="ALL" and Device="iPhone 4"
Matches: 2 testers (User1 and User2).
User1 filed 4 bugs for iPhone 4.
    - 4 bugs filed for devices in search
User2 filed 10 bugs for iPhone 4.
    - 10 bugs filed for devices in search
Results: User2, User1

Walk Through Example 2

Search Criteria: Country="ALL" and Device="iPhone 4" or "iPhone 5"
Matches: 2 testers (User1 and User2).
    User1 filed 4 bugs for iPhone 4 and 20 bugs for iPhone 5.
        - 24 bugs filed for devices in search
User2 filed 10 bugs for iPhone 4.
    - 10 bugs filed for devices in search
Results: User1, User2

Walk Through Example 3

Search Criteria: Country="ALL" and Device="iPhone 6"
Matches: 2 testers (User3 and User4).
    User3 filed 4 bugs for iPhone 6
        - 4 bugs filed for devices in search
User4 filed 0 bugs
    - 0 bugs filed for devices in search
Results: User3, User4

UI Output

How you output the results are up to you, there are no design requirements.

3rd party modules

  • check-types for consistent type assertions
  • gt for unit and end to end testing
