Misleading error messages #4

Open starbucksventi opened 1 week ago

starbucksventi commented 1 week ago

The first error message says to pick an index between 1 and 3, hence i pick 2, but it proceeds to tell me to pick an index between 1 and 2. The error message falsely redirected me to pick an index that does not work.

Similarly, when I try an index that it out of bounds, it does not provide the correct range, which should be 1-6, and instead tells me to pick between 1-20 which contained invalid indices 7-20

Team's Response

Low occurrence of wrong input index.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

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

Reason for disagreement: You have a fair point in that it is a low occurrence bug. However, by definition of bug severity, a low occurrence bug falls under medium severity since a bug of medium severity causes "occasional inconvenience to some users, but they can continue to use the product." Key point being that the error does not fall under 'very rare' especially for new users who are hands-on and want to test out the limits of the app.
