Question Description
Scenario:

Suppose “WeConnect” is an IT based company which is specialized in providing Voice over IP (VoIP) based services to its clients. Currently “WeConnect” is working on an application that will provide the functionality of “Virtual Labs” to Online Universities situated across the globe. Using this application the teachers could be able to give online lectures with the help of simulations and students could be able to raise text, audio or video based queries.

A module of this application requires the usage of CAPTCHA codes that takes less than a minute to process, but the client is insisting to remove this delay for a better user experience.

After reading the above given scenario, give your opinion with solid reasons, should the company reduce the CAPTCHA code processing time or completely remove the CAPTCHA code feature from this application?

Please read the scenario carefully before writing your comments.

A concise, coherent and to the point comment is preferred over lengthy comment having irrelevant details. Your comment must not be more than 4-5 lines. Comments, posted on regular Lessons MDB or sent through email will NOT be considered in any case. Any request about such an acceptance will not be catered. Furthermore, your solution should not be copied from any student or from any other source.

Best of Luck!

In my opinion, WeConnect should consider reducing the CAPTCHA processing time rather than removing it completely. CAPTCHA is essential for preventing automated abuse and ensuring the security of the application, particularly in an educational context where sensitive data may be exchanged. By optimizing the CAPTCHA process, the company can enhance user experience while maintaining necessary security measures, striking a balance between usability and protection against bots.
