Project Portfolio Page: ExchangeCourseMapper

By: Joe Tien You (@louisjoety)

1. Overview:

ExchangeCourseMapper is a tool to plan their exchange course mapping. It includes features to list partner universities, their courses and filtering of courses. There is also a tracker allowing users to add and delete mappings, display mappings and compare between two schools.

2. Code contributed:

I developed key features for the Information Checker feature, including ObtainContactsCommand and ListSchoolsCommand , and created the Command parent class to enable OOP-based extensions. I also wrote user and developer guides to support usability and team collaboration. Check out my contributions on the TP Dashboard.

3. Enhancements implemented:

a. Command | Check Information Command | Personal Tracker Command

• Abstract parent classes to allow child classes to be implemented through over-riding
• This is essential for ease of debugging and task allocation

b. Obtain Contacts Command | School Contact Validator

• Updated Database with new contact number and email information
• Managed controls to allow users to retrieve either email or number
• J-unit test, assertions and logging were done to gracefully handle errors
• JavaDocs for non-trivial methods were also written

c. List Schools Command

• Updated Database with school names and courses available
• Managed controls to allow users to obtain a list of schools available in the database
• J-unit test, assertions and logging were done to gracefully handle errors
• JavaDocs for non-trivial methods were also written

d. Miscellaneous

• Implemented starting points for 4 major components: Parser, UI, Commands, Storage
• Trivial features: Creating Assertions, Logs file and getting rid of magic strings
• J-unit test for Parser Class
• Help team do QA to obtain bugs around code namely in more complex commands

4. User Guide:

• Documented the FAQ section and the Command Summary
• Documented List Schools Function and Obtains Contacts function

5. Developer Guide:

• Added the directory for the DG
• Documented the NFR, product scope, acknowledgements section
• Design Section:
  • Architecture Diagram, Partial Class Diagram of Commands, Example of Sequence Diagram
• Implementation Section:
  • General JSON Processing Section, List Schools Section, Obtain Contacts Section

6. Contributions to team-based tasks:

• Enabled assertions in build.gradle to allow team to do error handling
• Established the project file structure and renamed files to match project
• Maintained the issue tracker
• Managed the release of v1.0
• Requested usage of 3rd party libraries in course forum here

7. Review/mentoring contributions:

• GitHub code reviews and comments across multiple PRs, listed are the notable ones: #26, #78, #84
• Clarified informal queries raised by my team about IntelliJ/Git/Java etc. on a day-to-day basis

8. Contributions beyond the project team:
