Project: NurseyBook

NurseyBook is a desktop address book application designed to help nurses manage their contacts and tasks. The user primarily interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 20 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to add recurring tasks.
    • What it does: Allows the user to create tasks with different recurrence types: none, daily, weekly or monthly.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because it gives a user a lot of flexibility in creating variations of a task, which suits the different needs of a user.
    • Highlights: This enhancement is an important feature of NurseyBook. This required implementing an auxiliary function to update the task’s current date once its date has passed, which varies based on its recurrence type. The integration of this function with the app was challenging as now, all task-related commands executed will have this side effect of updating the task’s current date. As a result, testing for this feature needed to be more comprehensive.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to edit tasks.
    • What it does: Allows the user to make changes to any details of a task.
    • Justification: This feature improves the user experience greatly as a user does not have to go through the troublesome motion of deleting and adding a task again should a user decides to change the task’s details.
    • Highlights: There were many different kinds of errors that could result from this command so a considerable amount of effort was needed to customise the different kinds of error messages present.

  • Enhancements to existing features:
    • Performed a major refactor of Person class to include Elderly and Nok classes. (Pull requests #64, #78)
    • Made the relationships between elderly and task more intuitive. (Pull requests #220)
      • Edits and deletions of Elderly names performed by editCommand and deleteCommand will cause the relevant changes to be observed in tasks that contain that name.
      • Disallowed unregistered Elderly in Task. Commands such as addTask and editTask included checks as to whether the new/edited elderly currently exists in the database.
  • Documentation:
    • User Guide:
      • Added documentation for the features editElderly, viewDetails, editElderly, deleteElderly, addTask, editTask. (Pull requests #40, #212, #232)
    • Developer Guide:
      • Updated use cases (Pull requests #46, #243)
      • Added implementation details of the sections “Add Recurring Task feature” and “Handling of Overdue and Recurring Tasks” with an activity diagram. (Pull requests #212)
      • Improved section on Model architecture with new model class diagrams. (Pull requests #104, #105)
  • Community:
    • PRs reviewed (with non-trivial review comments): (Pull requests #77, #107)
    • Reported bugs and suggestions for other teams during mock practical examination (repository: ped)
