Downgrading to severity.Low
: A flaw that is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product. Appears only in very rare situations and causes a minor inconvenience only.
Reason: As the target user is normal university student without stable income or various channels of spending, it is unlikely that they will need to track expenses in more than 10 aspects of their life. Furthermore, category
is able to depict more detailed groupings of expenses. Therefore, less than 10 budgets will suffice for almost all users, thus the lack of index causes a minor inconvenience only in very rare situations.

Items for the Tester to Verify
:question: Issue severity
Team chose [severity.Low
].
Originally [severity.Medium
].
Reason for disagreement: Thank you for the response.
From the example image, "NUS Canteens" is shown as a budget - which is a wonderful example showcasing a more specific use of the budget feature compared to using a category (which is within a budget). This has led me to the opinion where the team should not downgrade the severity to Low, but keep it at Medium. The team should not exclude the fact that normal NUS students can also be careful of their expenditure with the budget feature: students may further customise their budget, but they are limited by a flaw - the lack of indexes in MooLah's budget list.
Listed are some budget options that a normal NUS student could possibly have:
If the typical NUS student would like to edit the "Investments and savings" budget category, the user would have to count or guess the indexes.
Thus, I feel that this issue should be classified with the severity Medium.
Reason: In the budget panel, there are no indexes displayed. It inconveniences the user by having the user to guess which budget is being followed.
Steps to reproduce:
view budget list
listbudget
editbudget
Observe that editbudget prompts for an index. But in the page, there are no indexes shown - what if there are 20 budgets?
