Project: KeepInTouch

KeepInTouch is a desktop app for managing contacts for people in the working industry (recruiters, engineers, etc.) as well as events for career purposes.

Given below are my contributions to the team:

• Code contributed: RepoSense link

• Project management:

  • Went through all the issues in GitHub to create a summary of what bugs there are (eliminating duplicate reports), whether they can be fixed, and recommended ideas of fixing it.
  • Managed the CI and repo setup to establish best practices

• Enhancements to existing features:

  • #43 Improved help feature to better accomodate users. The old help command only opens a window containing a link to the user guide. The improvements I implemented are:

    • Calling the help command now display the list of all available commands

    • Calling the help command with the relevant command word will display the uses of that command word

    • Help command can recognize small typos in the additional argument and can suggest a correction

  • #77 Improved UI of the original contact list. Since initially all fields in a person instance is shown vertically, this leaves a lot of weight space in the right part of the window. Additionally, the density of information can make it hard to read. Therefore, I modified the display container to be a table instead.

  • #82 Improved UX when calling list events. Previously, the events are displayed as a text shown in the ResultDisplay container, which:

    1. Can only show a small amount of rows, forcing the user to scroll
    2. Is information-dense and unpleasant to read

    Therefore, similar to the previous solution, I displayed the result, using a popup window, in a table as well.

  • #152 Did bug-fixes related to these features after PE-D

• Documentation:

  • User Guide:
    • Proofread the UG and fixed some typos, grammatical errors, and misrepresentations.
  • Developer Guide:
    • #178, #205 Modified the existing UML to fit the current state of our project
    • #187 Formatted and added some test cases to the manual testing section
    • Discussed implementation details of the improved help feature in the DG

• Review/mentoring contributions

  • Pull requests reviewed:

    • #33

  • Give advice on how to achieve certain things by understanding the codebase.
    Example: Change from #68 to #72

• Contributions beyond the project team

  • Reported 11 bugs to other team's product during PE-D
