Project: Intern Watcher

Intern Watcher (IW) is a desktop app for Human Resource Managers to manage internship applicants, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI). If you can type fast, IW can get your applicant management tasks done faster than traditional GUI apps.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to undo commands and redo previous undo commands.
    • What it does: Allows the user to undo a previously executed command, reverting the application to the previous state. Undo commands can be reversed by the Redo command.
    • Justification: It is common for users to make mistakes when entering commands. Hence, a redo/undo feature will be really helpful for users who need to rectify those mistakes, and redo them in case they change their mind.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and commands to be added in the future. It was challenging as it required existing commands to be modified and a new class that extends the existing InternWatcher class in order to support the undo/redo functionality. Some analysis was needed for design alternatives, such as the data structure to store a history of commands.
    • Credits: Code for classes VersionedInternWatcher referenced and reused from @eugene3231.

  • New Feature: Added Course field to applicants. It represents the applicant’s course of study.
