MongoDB Bug Hunt: Hands-On Session

In anticipation of the first release candidate of MongoDB 3.4, we're holding a hands-on session to help you get prepared for our Bug Hunt. In advance of each new major version, we've held a Bug Hunt to allow the community to get involved in testing the upcoming release and to win prizes for the best bug reports.

The Bug Hunt rewards community members who contribute to improving MongoDB releases through testing. This MUG session outlines how you can test MongoDB against your development environment to uncover any remaining issues.

We will also talk about how to file a bug report if you find an issue as well as the three criteria of user impact, of severity and of prevalence, which a bug report is judged against. We will also walk though how you submit a bug report (https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/wiki/Submit-Bug-Reports) along with advice on what to include with your bug report.

In terms of the MUG, we wanted to help run you through how you can setup, test, and file a bug report to participate in the Bug Hunt. We'll have a number of our technical support engineers on hand as well as presentation to help get you started!
