XE.COM BUG #004

Description

The amount of money within the value field stays the same when users navigate to other pages or reloads main page.

Problems:


User Expectation:
Users typically expect input fields to reset or refresh when they navigate away or reload a page. If the amount remains the same, it can confuse users who may believe they are interacting with a stale or incorrect value.

Data Integrity:
If the amount is not intended to persist across sessions, this could lead to users unintentionally retaining outdated or incorrect information, which can result in mistakes in transactions or conversions.

User Experience:
A lack of consistency with standard web behavior can lead to a frustrating user experience. Users may think the application is malfunctioning if their input is not cleared as expected.

Steps to reproduce:


Test Case 1.

  1. Add an amount, example 200.000$
  2. Click Convert
  3. Reload website and OBSERVE that the amount is the same amount as before.

Test Case 2.

  1. Add an amount, example 200.000$
  2. Click Convert
  3. Click on any other page (Send Money, Converter, Currency API, Tools, Resources)
  4. Navigate back to the former page or click on the XE icon in the far left corner and OBSERVE that the amount is the same amount as before.

Priority:

HIGH
