Able to Add Companies with different names with all other fields the same

[nus-se-script]

It is possible to add 2 companies with different names, but all other details are the same. It is likely insufficient to check for equality by just the name, as in the real world, there is no two companies that will have the same phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses.

Response

Thank you for taking the time to write up this suggestion.

We believe that this issue should be rejected for the following reasons:

• It is very possible for companies to share the same office space through flexible office rentals which are common for startups.
• Emails and Phone Numbers being exactly the same are in very rare cases, any other scenario within real-world usage is likely intentional by the user, as such equality check for emails and phone numbers were not implemented.
• It is very possible for 2 companies to have very similar names e.g. HP split into HP Inc. and HPE/HP Enterprise

We hope that our response has answered your suggestion and that you will continue using InternBuddy as we continue improving it.
