Under the find route function, the destination and source fields are case-sensitive. This may not be optimal for fast typists who wish to find a route quickly. Further, case sensitivity may not be important for this function.

Team's Response

I disagree with you, we studied case sensitivity and determined appropriately that it is apt in this scenario to prevent unwarranted searches.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: I understand, but I thought about it again and I cannot envision a scenario where "Singapore" and "singapore" should return different search results. I can't think of any countries/cities where changing the capitalisation of any letter in the location would result in it pointing to an entirely different location. I think this would cause inconvenience to fast-typists.
