Case sensitive names

[josepholim]

I can have duplicate names, one with lower case and one with upper case, in the contact list.

Shouldn't names be case-insensitive in the real world? The user guide says that duplicate students are identified by their names.

Team's Response

Thank you for pointing out the possibility of having two person with the same alphabet spelling in their name. However, in our User Guide, we have clearly stated that the name is case sensitive, so for our app, we assume that Ibrahim and ibrahim are two different students because of the case sensitive.

Based on this

Since our User Guide clearly stated that the name is case sensitive, hence, it is sad to say that we have chosen to reject this bug report.

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I acknowledge that you have made clear how you handled name duplicates in your application.

However, based on the course website, person names are not case-sensitive in the real world, so they shouldn't be case-sensitive in the app either. Hence, your application does not follow the case sensitivity of a person name in the real world.

Then, I decided to disagree with your response.
