Project: Intern Watcher

Intern Watcher (IW) is a desktop app for Human Resource Managers (HRs) to manage internship applicants. The user interacts with it using a Command Line Interface (CLI), and it has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 17 kLoC. Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to edit fields of multiple applicants at once.
    • What it does: allows the user to edit all currently displayed applicants in one go.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can handle large volumes of applicants with ease when paired with the filter function.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in the future. It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. A Selection class was added, with a parser to go with it. The implementation too was challenging as it required changes to existing commands.

  • New Feature: Added application status field to applicants, with enum values and colour coding.

  • New Feature: Added institution field to applicants.
