Team's Response

Thank you for the report. However we believe that this is not in scope, as:

Different countries have different requirements for the number of digits and formats in the phone numbers. It is hence extremely hard to narrow down the requirement for every country in order to properly validate all phone numbers. Hence, the value/effort ratio is not worth it, as improper implementation of this enhancement may cause our users to be unable to add in connections and recruiters from other countries.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.NotInScope]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: The team's target user for the product is SoC students who will be extension be based in Singapore and have a Singapore phone number. The format of phone numbers in Singapore is 8 digits.

Thus, I believe that the team's justification on how "Different countries have different requirements for the number of digits and formats in the phone numbers." is invalid as the users of the product will highly likely not use a phone number from a different country. A check for the valid format of phone numbers is important in the case of the users keying in an invalid phone number which would make it difficult for the person to be contacted.
