Project: Big Brother

Big Brother is a desktop address book application used for managing employee details by HR Staff of a startup. 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 sort records.

  • What it does: This feature allows the user to sort records according to a certain criteria. By default, the records are displayed according to the most updated list order.
  • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can have a clear and structured view of records that require more attention or are of higher priority.
  • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands.
  • Credits: {mention here if you reused any code/ideas from elsewhere or if a third-party library is heavily used in the feature so that a reader can make a more accurate judgement of how much effort went into the feature}

• New Feature: Added the ability to add/delete/edit certificates for a person.

• What it does: This feature allows the user to add/delete/edit certificates for a person. Certificates comprise of a name and an expiry date.

• Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because certificates are essential qualifications that must be tracked by our target users.
