Project: Ultron

Ultron is a system that assists students in tracking their internship applications by organizing their internships and monitoring the status of each application. To enhance the user experience, I have made a significant contribution to the project by implementing new features, refactoring the code, and improving the documentation.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • Features:
    • Upcoming feature (sorting element)
      • allows students to sort their internships based on the number of days until the application deadline.
      • Created a custom Date Comparator to correctly implement the sorting aspect of upcoming
      • Modified the original FilteredList abstraction into a more flexible and versatile ObeservableList to support the sorting aspect of the Openings
      • Created a custom OpeningsBeforeDaysPredicate to check how many days are after the current date and then filter it accordingly
    • Refactored the Find feature
      • Enhance its usability and efficiency
      • Implemented two custom predicate classes that filter the ObservableList to match user queries
      • Supported the filtering of Company and Positions
    • Merged the various refactorings
      • Combined all the different parts of the refactored code for the team to make the system more maintainable and efficient
      • Improved the system’s architecture, making it easier to maintain and enhance in the future.
      • Created various new classes such as ModelManager, OpeningList etc.
    • Created custom error messages for the Add Command
      • If a user tries to add an opening without the four compulsory fields which are companies, position, status and email, the correct custom error messages will be shown to guide the user accordingly
  • Code contributed:
    • In summary, my contributions to the Ultron project have significantly enhanced the user experience, improved the system’s architecture, and made the codebase more maintainable and efficient.
    • You can find the report here
  • Documentation:
    • Documented the refactored Find Command
    • Documented the steps on the lifecycle of a single execution of the upcoming command in the Developer’s Guide. This would help Developers understand the creation and deletion of CommandResult Objects so that they can further improve on it if need be.
    • Documented the Sequence Diagram for the upcoming command with an example of using upcoming 5 to show a valid example.
