Able to edit the tags/description of 2 modules to be the same

[benedict733]

Able to have 2 modules with the same module name and same tag for project, allowing someone to key in multiple entries of the same instance when using the tag/description to describe the tasks in multiple ways.

This is high as this affects many users and this might cause someone to key in multiple entries of the same thing multiple times, defeating the purpose of this program.

Team's Response

Thanks for the feedback.
This was our intention as we wanted the user to be able to add the same module but of different tags.

The example shown is of 2 modules with different tags.

This is stated in the documentation as well.

Items for the Tester to Verify

❓ Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: "This was our intention as we wanted the user to be able to add the same module but of different tags."

Was unable to find any documentation regarding similar tags. The tags shown here are the same and therefore the point stated "but of different tags" is invalid.

"The example shown is of 2 modules with different tags."

Furthermore, I did not tag 1 as "project" and other as "Project" with different cases. Both of these modules had the exact same tag "Project" and yet was undetected. Both of these modules (the same module) had the exact same tag.

❓ Issue severity

Team chose [severity.VeryLow]
Originally [severity.High]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Severity remains as high as their point to reject this bug has been explained above. I believe they did not make any explanation regarding this buggy behaviour. Why I disagree and still stand by severity.High as elaborated below (same as my above explanation):

"Able to have 2 modules with the same module name and same tag for project, allowing someone to key in multiple entries of the same instance when using the tag/description to describe the tasks in multiple ways.

This is high as this affects many users and this might cause someone to key in multiple entries of the same thing multiple times, defeating the purpose of this program."

Furthermore, this is an app to track all of my assignments and classes. As a busy and forgetful student who may key in the same entry multiple times, not being able to deal with this behaviour means that I will store multiple entries of the same assignment that is due. This will affect me as a student in a few different ways:

1. I will grow more anxious as I have thought that I did not key it in before.
2. I may be very shocked when I am reminded that I have 2 assignments due for the same module on the same day. Given that I am forgetful, I may not know there is only 1 assignment due that day.

These reasons show how it affects the user, and therefore has a severity of high as it makes the app unusable as it does not fulfil its purpose of keeping track of my activities and instead cause me to panic or feel anxious instead.
