Assignment Weightage Bug

[johnbenedictyan]

Bug Report:

What Happened:

• Assignment weightages need to be in whole numbers without being explicitly stated.
• It is also not too far-fetched for assignment weightages to be decimals.

Steps to reproduce:

1. assignments assignments/ ASSIGNMENT_1 w/12.5 , ASSIGNMENT_2 w/87.5

Team's Response

We accept that this should be better written in the error message. However, we have this described in our UG. Therefore we believe that this is unlikely to affect normal operations for a normal user that has read our UG before use. Therefore rectifying this will be less important. Therefore this will be classified NotInScope

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.NotInScope]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Features that work as specified by the UG but should have been designed to work differently (from the end-user's point of view) fall in this category too. - Definition of feature flaw

It is a feature flaw because there are very real instances whereby a module may have assignments with percentage weightings, it can also be considered Overzealous input validation.

:question: Issue severity

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

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: It is a medium-level bug because of these reasons and it will provide occasional inconvenience to users regardless of whether they read the UG or not.
