Prompt message not clear in its message #7

Open afroneth opened 3 years ago

Hi, there is a mild feature flaw where the prompt message in the "Quiz" tab may not be clear in its message. After starting a quiz and inputting my answer, the next command is "The available next command are 'c', 'w', ...". This means that 'c' stands for correct, while 'w' for wrong. However, this should be clearly stated so that user knows this without referring to the user guide.

Team's Response

Thanks for the bug report. This is addressed in the user guide, which is expected to be used in conjuntion with the testing. Additionally, the help window is also available during a quiz such that users can refer to what each command means.

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: I still think this is a feature that can be improved on as the user may not use the User Guide in conjunction with this application all the time. Hence, there may be times when the user does not refer to the User Guide and is not sure on what the 'c' or 'w' command does. Also, it is not intuitive for the user to exit the 'Quiz' functionality halfway to access the 'Help' window just to find out what the 'c' and 'w' command does.

In such cases, it would be better to simply state clearly what 'c', 'w' does, especially since there is still quite a lot of whitespace that is not utilised in the response window.

For example, the prompt message can be changed to:

Availabe next commands:

  1. 'c' - Correct
  2. 'w' - Wrong
  3. 'refresh' - ....
  4. 'cancel' - ....

Severity will be 'VeryLow' as app is still usable, but the lack of proper explanations of commands will lead to occasional/minor inconvenience when the user does not refer to the User Guide.
