Project: NewAddressBook

NewAddressBook is a desktop address book application used by teachers to manage their student and teacher contacts, optimised for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI). The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to filterStudent, filterTeacher.
    • What it does: Allows the user to filter the existing student/teacher list by involvement and/or tags.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because the user is usually managing a large number of contacts and being able to quickly find information of all contacts within a subset allows for easier communication with them.
    • Highlights: This feature was constantly revised to match the ever higher standards that we are striving for, and thus has had several iterations.
  • New Feature: Added the feature to mass delete a displayed list via clearStudent and/or clearTeacher
    • What it does: Allows the user delete every single contact in the current displayed list.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly as allows mass management of contacts e.g. A class has recently graduated, so the user can the filter command to find the students in that particular class and then delete the contacts.
    • Highlights: The command will leave the non-displayed contacts intact and in the same order.
  • New Feature: Added a Gender field
    • What it does: Allows the user to add/edit a Gender field to students/teachers to keep track of their gender.
    • Justification: The user might want to track the gender of the contacts for administrative purposes.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in the future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation required changes to existing commands like the adding and editing of contacts.
