Bug finding task on Timbu.com
……remember I promised to be back with more gist as the Hotel.ng internship program progresses. Now I have an update.
Second task was rolled out on 1/04/2019 19:19. The second task is a bug finding task on “timbu.com” .
Task 2: (a) Report a Bug on Timbu.com and blog about it (with a link to timbu) and (b) Add your name to hng.tech.
Before we proceed, what is bug in Computer Science:
bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways.
Found several bugs on “Timbu.com”, same as many other interns. I then decided to focus on bugs on “ https://timbu.com/search?query”.
On top of the page contain a navbar with menus like Rooms, Flights, Visa, Study, Currency, and Account menu.
Closely followed by search boxes (location, check in, check out) and query button (find hotel). Follow by the the section divided into 2 (filter section and query result section)

The focus is on the filter section where user can refine their search to get a tailored result instead of downloading the whole page.
One the filter section, we have 4 available ways of narrowing down our search
- By Price
- By Rating
- By property type
- By Hotel Features
Price filter query button (Refine Search) is active but does not display no result.
While the query button for all other for forms of narrowing down search result are inactive. They are just ordinary button that points to nowhere.
If you go deep on your search by researching the major difference between the price filter query button and other query button (Rating, Property type and Hotel Feature) by inspecting the page using Google Dev Tools. You will realize that price query button has a special “id” (<button class=”button” id=”refineFilter”>Refine Search</button>) that other query button does not have.
While wrapping up my work on the page “https://timbu.com/search?query”. I realized that if you search for hotel for locations other than Nigeria from the homepage “https://timbu.com”. The displayed result comes with a double slider as described in the image below. Click on image to for a better view
I hope my observations are noted and work upon for better . User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX)
Thank you so much for reading.. please don’t forget to give a “clap”
