Project: Pawbook

Pawbook is a desktop application for dog school managers to facilitate their bookkeeping of puppies and dogs in the school, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) which caters to fast-typers who prefer to use a keyboard. You can navigate the application with ease and execute instructions by typing text-based commands in the command box provided. Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Drop Command
    • Implemented the Drop Command that allows users to remove dogs which were previously enrolled in a program.
    • In the process, I had to implement EnrolDropCommandParser and ProgramRegistrationCommand to allow proper functioning of this command.
    • I worked with other members of the team who were working on the Enrol Command as these two commands were largely similar.
    • An additional feature would be allowing batch dropping, such as one dog from multiple programs, or multiple dogs from one program, but not multiple dogs from multiple programs.
    • Implemented code coverage for Drop Command.
  • Code Refactoring: Changed UniqueOwnerList to UniqueEntityList
    • Since Pawbook works with dogs and programs on top of just owners, we had to change the initial AB3-AddressBook to support all three entities.
    • Removed project-wide references and usage of variables linked to UniqueOwnerList and changed it to UniqueEntityList to fit with our project instead.
    • Fixed all related test cases that started failing after the major refactoring.

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link

  • Project management:
    • Managed milestones v1.2 - v1.4 on GitHub.
    • Assigned and allocated issues to team members for smoother work allocation.
  • Enhancements to existing features: GUI Refactoring
    • Designed logos and card components for Pawbook using Canva.
    • Changed the CSS such that the UI reflects the distinct Pawbook colours as presented in our initial UI Mockup.
  • Documentation:
    • User Guide:
      • Contributed to the Drop Command and consistently edited the rest of the User Guide to ensure a seamless and readable document from start to end.
      • Revamped the syntax format for the entire User Guide.
      • Added screenshots and annotations for every command, giving the user a visual representation of Pawbook’s features.
      • Streamlined and cleaned up the User Guide frequently to match the current implementations of Pawbook.
    • Developer Guide:
      • Completed Drop Command and its respective activity and sequence diagrams.
      • Added on to the use cases.
  • Community:
    • Reviewed and merged pull requests of other contributors frequently.
    • Tested Pawbook’s features regularly and reported bugs to other teammates who were in charge of those features.
    • Reported bugs and suggestions to other teams in the class.
  • Tools:
    • Used JavaFX library and CSS and Canva extensively for the Graphic User Interface.
