Team's Response

We are putting this as low as it's unlikely to affect many users, plus the user can easily change the uncapitalised letter once they find out something is wrong. That being said, we have also mentioned in the UG that our parameters are case-sensitive.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

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

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: # Reason for disagreement:

• The snipper shown below from the website shows that this is not a trivial problem.
• It might be the case that students in the same class are added into the system multiple times accidentally because the teacher made a mistake. In such cases, some level of duplicate detection is useful (e.g. By capitalising all letters and comparing)
• Since this is not trivial, and may occur and bother several teachers who would have to enter long lists of students into the system, I argue that the issue should remain medium
