Team's Response

Thank you for bringing this up. We did not mention that this is part of our features for v2.1. The application is working as intended, hence, this issue is rejected.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.NotInScope]

Reason for disagreement: This might be a feature flaw because this missing feature is essential for the application to be reasonably useful. As a primary six student, I would have back to back classes every hour from 07:30 to 13:30, excluding recess, that will be 5 lessons a day.

Having to key in 5 entries a day, 25 entries a week (5 school days), 1000 entries a year(4 10-week school terms) could be seen as troublesome (as compared to 25 entries a year to set weekly classes using the repeat function). This number is not inclusive of the entries of CCAs, tuitions and other deadlines eg tests/exams which might cause the number to be even higher. The very nature of this application should be to provide ease to the user and not complicate matters.

Using a repeat function, the same timetable can be constructed at the start and used on a weekly basis.This application aims to tackle the issue of poor planning most P6 students in Singapore face (as I quote from the UG's introduction) and not to exacerbate it.
