Team's Response

Under our Applicant's definition, name and phone number are case sensitive.

In our add command we also gave an example that "thomas" and "Thomas" are different.

Hence, alex yeoh and Alex Yeoh will be treated as separate individuals in our application

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: While it is stated that the name is case sensitive, your UG also states that you cannot add two or more applicants with the same name and phone number. I quoted directly from the CS2103T website that this constitutes a Duplicate Detection bug. The CS2103T website clearly states that "John Doe" and "john doe" are likely to be the same person and there are no other duplicate detection mechanism within this application, thus it should be a medium featureflaw.

In the screenshot provided, it is clearly a problem for us to be able to input alex yeoh and Alex Yeoh with the same phone number, address and email. They should be treated as the same person.
