Project: WedFast

WedFast is a desktop address book application used for managing contacts of your dream wedding. 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 delete contact by specifying name.
  • What it does: allows the user to delete a contact without referring to the index in the contact list.
  • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can delete a contact quickly as long as he/she remembers the name, without referring to the index of the contact list (which is slow). Thus, in the long run, this feature saves them large amount of time.
  • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing delete command. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing delete command.
• New Feature: Added a countdown command that helps the user calculating the number of days left until his/her wedding.
  • What it does: shows the user the countdown to his/her wedding.
  • Justification: This feature is helpful in tracking if their wedding planning progress matches with their expectation, so they can rectify their plan periodically.
• New Feature: Added a cost-sum-checking command that helps the user calculating the total cost of his wedding (or a particular item/category).
  • What it does: shows the user the total expenses of his/her wedding (or the cost of people he/she hiring for the wedding).
  • Justification: This feature is helpful in tracking if the expenses is exceeding the couple’s ability, so they can eliminate unnecessary expenses, thus saving money.

• Enhancements to existing features:
  • Wrote additional tests for features implemented to increase coverage by 4.16% (Pull requests #187, #188, #189)
• Documentation:
  • User Guide:
    • Updated major contents of the documentation, including updating the table of contents, product overview, features implemented(screenshots and descriptions), command summary. (Pull requests #88, #94, #100)
    • Did cosmetic tweaks to existing documentation by adding cover page, about the user guide, glossary, rearranging features in chronological use (Pull request #94)
  • Developer Guide:
    • Updated the design details/diagrams of the Logic, Model, and Parser component. (Pull request #186)
    • Added implementation details of the delete-by-name, countdown-to-the-wedding, and cost-sum-checking features. Several UML diagrams were added such as object diagrams, sequence diagrams and activity diagrams. (Pull request #186)
• Contributions to team-based tasks:
