Editing data file does not produce specified behavior

[kwokieee]

Editing the timestable.json file to have an invalid format does not cause the app to delete the file on launch as specified in the UG.

Data used in timestable.json:

Team's Response

We tried doing this on the jar file and changing an address of a person to null would cause timestable to start with an empty data file on the next run, not delete the JSON file.

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I think I might have misunderstood what the UG mentions for the expected behavior due to the wording. I assumed that "start with an empty data file" meant that the timestable.json data file would be empty, instead of the app starting with no data loaded and the timestable.json data file still containing the invalid data. Maybe it would be clearer if the UG states that "data will not be loaded into the app" or something along those lines?
