Adding a person to a group and a subgroup at the same time #4

Open chengseong opened 2 years ago

chengseong commented 2 years ago

According to the user guide, it seems as though you are able to add a person to a group and a subgroup at the same time, however it seems like you are unable to do so in the application.

There is also no mention in the User Guide that a person has to be in the group before being added to a subgroup.

Team's Response

It is not necessary for the UG to contain every nitty-gritty detail about the product behavior. Some rarely needed information can be omitted from the UG, if the user is expected to know that information already or if the user is kept informed in other ways. For example, if a certain invalid input is unlikely to be used anyway, it is fine to not specify it in the UG, as long as the product is able to give an informative error message when that invalid input is used.

As the error message clearly states this, it is not necessary to write it in the UG

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: This is neither rarely needed information nor is it an invalid input that is unlikely to be used. This is a core command that is integral to your application and hence it is definitely information that the user needs to know and is a command that users will likely use often. Since your user guide makes no mention that this command can only be used when the user is already part of the group specified, it is not unreasonable to think that users will assume that a contact can be added to the group and subgroup at the same time, especially for users who are using the command for the first time. Hence I believe that this is information that is necessary in the User Guide.

:question: Issue severity

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

Reason for disagreement: This is definitely not just a cosmetic issue, and will definitely cause occasional inconvenience to the users, especially for users who do not use the application often and refer to the user guide whenever they use it.
