Project: JerylFypManager

JerylFypManager is a desktop application catered to professors to manage and track the progress for students’ final year project (FYP), as well as serving as a platform for professors to provide feedback on their students’ progress. 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. This project is based on AddressBook - Level 3.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to mark the project with the status {YTS, IPor DONE}.
    • What it does:
      • Allows the Professor to mark any FYP Projects in their FYP Manager with any of the 3 supported statuses YTS, IP or DONE
      • The status of any FYP Project just added to FYP Manager is automatically set to YTS
    • Justification:
      • This feature improves the product significantly since users can now mark the current status of any FYP project so that he/she can identify which projects may need more attention or help, especially those that are YTS or IP.
    • Highlights:
      • This enhancement was challenging to implement everything from scratch. It required an in-depth analysis of the current code base, and I had to do extensive code-tracing to implement the feature.
    • Credits:
      • Would like to thank @russelldash332 for the help in implementing the status as a coloured box by providing the required FXML knowledge
  • New Feature: Added the ability to sort the projects by their specialisation, or by their project status
    • What it does:
      • Allows the user to either sort the Projects by their name in alphabetical order, or by the project status, specifically in the order {YTS, IP, DONE}.
    • Justification:
      • This feature improves the product since users may be searching for a specific topic, or for projects of a specific project status
    • Highlights:
      • This enhancement was challenging since it required the introduction of new methods to existing classes , as well as the modification of existing ones
    • Credits:
      • Would like to thank @russelldash332 for the help with the UI panel

  • Code contributed:
    RepoSense Link

  • Project management:
    • Helped to provide a workflow for the Project such as suggesting refactoring of the code as a priority
    • Helped in assigning the relevant tasks for each member depending on their respective code proficiency
  • Enhancements to existing features:
    • Wrote additional tests in related classes such as FypManagerParser to incorporate relevant testing for introduction of new features
    • Added more relevant error messages to be thrown such as MESSAGE_STUDENT_NOT_FOUND
  • Documentation:
  • Community:
    • Helped to report the bugs for another team’s project during PED Link to issues raised is below:

  • Tools
    • Draw.io for drawing my UML diagrams for both MarkCommand and SortCommand
