Team's Response

Thanks for raising this!

We did consider a implementing a more comprehensive check—comparing the start and end timings of every individual interview against each other to ensure no overlap. However, performing these comparisons for every entry is quite time consuming. Thus, for our current iteration, we focused on implementing prevention of duplicate entries for adding internships, creating the functionality to add multiple rounds of interviews and sort interviews for internships. In future iterations, we plan to address timing overlaps and resolve this bug.

Items for the Tester to Verify

❓ Issue response

Team chose [response.NotInScope]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I believe this issue should be within scope because detecting overlapping interview time slots is critical to the core functionality of a this type of application. If the app allows overlapping interviews to be added without warning, it can lead to real-world scheduling conflicts for users. Since the app already processes time inputs, implementing overlap detection—even in a basic form—is feasible and should be considered part of this iteration's scope.

❓ Issue severity

Team chose [severity.Low]
Originally [severity.Medium]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I disagree with the severity being marked as Low. The issue directly affects the accuracy and reliability of the scheduling feature. Allowing users to unknowingly schedule interviews that clash in time is a significant flaw, especially in an app meant to manage such events. This is not a cosmetic or minor inconvenience—it's a Medium severity issue, as it compromises proper usage of the app and can cause users to miss interviews.
