The 'Original' Bug

[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]

NFR contradicts email functionality in application

Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.

Step 4 is a NFR that is inconsistent with the product as the product can open an external application (inbuilt email application) that requires internet connection to function.

Their Response to the 'Original' Bug

[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]

The email feature uses a URI that is sent to the OS to open the built in email application. A-Bash Book does not require internet connection to operate.

Moreover, Emails can be sent over the intranet within the corporation itself. It can also be cached in the outbox of the email application. It can also be drafted and saved as a file and exported in a thumbdrive to a device with internet connection.

Due to the above points, I am closing this issue as Rejected as both A-Bash Book and an email application can be used without internet connection.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue duplicate status

Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)

[ ] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

[x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I think the reason given doesn't work because of the common sense of "email". In addition, in the reason given, "Moreover, Emails can be sent over the intranet within the corporation itself. It can also be cached in the outbox of the email application. It can also be drafted and saved as a file and exported in a thumb drive to a device with an internet connection", you didn't clearly state it in the DG. More explicitly, it depends on your description of the command "email". The target of this command is sending the email which cannot be successful without the internet if its functionality follows the description in your UG, else you need to modify the description in the UG to show that such functionality follows the description in your response, in which case it's still documentation bugs.

:question: Issue severity

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

[x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Honestly, the severity should still be Medium instead of High depending on the definition as followings:

Though it will cause inconvenience to some users but not almost unusable.
