Social Post - Kudos Rewards Intro Retouched1920×1008 114 KB

In this topic, we’ll look at our Kudos Rewards Scheme, a way for us to identify and reward the most active and high-performing members of our Community.

Accessing the Kudos Board

There are two ways to access the Kudos Board , you can click on the link at the top of the header …

… or navigate to the hamburger menu and click on ‘Kudos Leaderboard’.

How it works

1. Kudos scoring criteria

The Board awards ‘Kudos’ based on your continuous interactions within the Community. A list of these interactions and the amount of Kudos awarded are as below:

Interaction / Event Amount of Kudos awarded
Daily visits 1
Flag accepted 10
Post created 2
Post read 1
Topic created 5
Solution accepted 15
User invites accepted 20
Time read 1
Likes given 1
Likes received 1

Kudos are updated every 5 minutes for events of the day, and the board would re-calculate Kudos from the last 10 days once daily.

2. Special actions that award Kudos

You can also earn extra Kudos by completing any of the actions below. Please send @albert.vu a personal message to inform our team that you’ve completed said actions so that we could update your Kudos! :+1:

Actions Kudos Awarded

5. Notes

If you redeem the KRE (Katalon Runtime Engine), KSE (Katalon Studio Enterprise), or TestCloud, you are bound to each tool’s respective license policy and support policy.

:point_right: Check out this topic for more information on how the Kudos Board works and which categories you’ll earn Kudos from.

:pushpin: We want to clarify that our free licenses are strictly for personal use only, as outlined in our Customer Terms of Use. Commercial or business usage requires appropriate commercial licenses.

It is very awful to see the Rewards. But it is best if the Rewards will get distributed to the participants.
Last time got participated in rewards and other things organized by the community.
After everything new targets have been added to get the rewards.

i totally annoyed by these false promotions made by you peoples in the community

Hi @bharathi.a,

First of all, we apologize if your experiences when joining our Giveaways have been less than satisfactory.

Now, after double-check the Giveaway topic in question, we can see that:

  • You initially replied to the main thread with the lucky number 17042023 on April 17th → Link
  • You then created another reply with the lucky number 0143 on April 17th → Link
  • You then created another reply with the same lucky number as above (0143) on April 19th → Link

In total, you have created 3 different replies, and hence, we only considered your first reply as an entry in our Giveaway to be fair to everyone else in said thread.

If you want to win more eGift card and similar prizes, we are running another survey relating to our GPT-powered Manual Test Case Generation feature, which upon completion, you would get a chance to enter another lucky draw.

Thanks

Hi all,

We have some slight revision to the Kudos Rewards Program as follow:

  1. You can now redeem 400 Kudos for TestCloud usage.
  2. The Kudos Leaderboard will no longer have an expiry date, meaning you can keep on engaging with others on the forum, earn Kudos, and redeem gifts.
