Team's Response

CAUSE

Carried over from AB3.

Response explanation

Arguable if an issue.

Not all customers have standard Singapore number (also did you know that +65 3X numbers are actually Singapore numbers? See IMDA public documentation).

Additionally, AutoM8 does not restrict to only Singapore numbers.

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: - Here is the sample solution you could validate your SG phone number: VALIDATION_REGEX = "^[689]\\d{7}$";

• Since you give IMDA document, you could just restraint your scope to SG, and hence your validation of phone number will be much easier to implement.

Validating phone numbers is a critical task for software engineers because invalid phone numbers can result in unnecessary redundancy and overhead costs. Each validation message service incurs a cost, and if the software does not enforce validation on phone numbers, the company is likely to incur significant financial losses. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that phone numbers are properly validated to prevent any potential errors or financial setbacks.
