BugQuest’s real-code bug hunt
BugQuest gives developers a coding-agent challenge: investigate and fix an inventory bug in editable code with public tests.
- For
- Developers practicing with coding agents
- Worth noticing
- The real-code challenge lists 29 public cases; the separate simulation exercises use preset agent replies and do not count toward rankings.
Field notes
The main exercise stages inventory events that arrive out of order, with duplicate messages and expired reservations contributing to a ghost order. Users direct an agent in natural language, inspect its code changes, and run public tests; the page lists 29 cases and says a model key must be supplied by the user. Its simulation library is explicitly different: those exercises use example source and preset agent replies, without real model calls or actual fixes.
