Project: AddressBook Level 3

AddressBook - Level 3 is a desktop address book application used for teaching Software Engineering principles. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 10 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

• New Feature: Added the ability to undo/redo previous commands.

  • What it does: allows the user to undo all previous commands one at a time. Preceding undo commands can be reversed by using the redo command.
  • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can make mistakes in commands and the app should provide a convenient way to rectify them.
  • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands.
  • Credits: {mention here if you reused any code/ideas from elsewhere or if a third-party library is heavily used in the feature so that a reader can make a more accurate judgement of how much effort went into the feature}

• New Feature: Added a history command that allows the user to navigate to previous commands using up/down keys.

• Code contributed: RepoSense link

• Project management:

  • Managed releases v1.3 - v1.5rc (3 releases) on GitHub

• Enhancements to existing features:

  • Updated the GUI color scheme (Pull requests #33, #34)
  • Wrote additional tests for existing features to increase coverage from 88% to 92% (Pull requests #36, #38)

    • Added documentation for the features delete and find #72
    • Did cosmetic tweaks to existing documentation of features clear, exit: #74
  • Developer Guide:

• Community:

  • PRs reviewed (with non-trivial review comments): #12, #32, #19, #42
  • Contributed to forum discussions (examples: 1, 2, 3, 4)
  • Reported bugs and suggestions for other teams in the class (examples: 1, 2, 3)
  • Some parts of the history feature I added was adopted by several other class mates (1, 2)

• Tools:

  • Integrated a third party library (Natty) to the project (#42)
  • Integrated a new Github plugin (CircleCI) to the team repo _
