Autocorrect feature does not give the optimal suggestion #2

Open sarzorwyn opened 3 years ago

When typing "appointme" and hitting enter, it gives the suggestion of "patient" instead, which is unlikely what the user wants. image.png

Team's Response

The workings of the algorithm checks the number of characters before matching the letters. Since the length of the input is closest to that of the "patient" command, the "patient" command is chosen to be the guessed command.

This is due to a strictness parameter that was implemented into the application. As the application was made for experienced typist, we expect there to be less difference in the number of characters between the given input and the intended command by the user.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: I understand the mechanism behind your function now, but a short description in the user guide can help users to understand it better. I believe an experienced typist could still miss out 3 characters, perhaps by hitting the enter button too early.

:question: Issue severity

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

Reason for disagreement: This error is only prominent with specific strings and is very rare to deviate from what the user wants to enter. Hence I would revert it back to severity.Low
