This term could have been included in the Glossary since it is an abbreviation with no context

Team's Response

I believe the glossary in our module definition is "serves to ensure that all stakeholders have a common understanding of the noteworthy terms, abbreviations, acronyms etc" As such, the stakeholders here are computer science students and I believe DBMS which is Database Management System is a common acronym that is commonly used. And we believe that in this module, the glossary is used to define terms that are found specifically in the app / used in the app. As such, we do not accept this issue.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: Checking with Computer Science peers, the general consensus is that DBMS is not a universal term that is well known by majority of CS students, so I still believe it should be included in the Glossary. Also, Computer Science students are not the only stakeholders. Stakeholders could also refer to potential investors who might not necessarily have a background in computer science and thus, would not be familiar with such a term.
