Project: InternSHIP

InternSHIP is a desktop app for university students to manage their internship applications. InternSHIP has been optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the Position field.
    • What it does: Allows the user to record internship position (Pull request #51).
    • Justification: Being able to remind users about application details on which role they applied for.
    • Highlights: This feature affected all existing commands as a new field had to be added to all commands. Many test cases needed to be changed too.
    • The implementation of this feature was later enhanced by the team.
  • New Feature: Added the Deadline field.
    • What it does: Allows the user to record application deadline (Pull request #51).
    • Justification: Being able to remind user not to miss important deadlines.
    • Highlights: This feature affected all existing commands as a new field had to be added to all commands. Many test cases needed to be changed too.
    • The implementation of this feature was later enhanced by the team.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to find application(s).
    • What it does: Allows the user to find application(s) based on a given criterion and keyword.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user could find applications with specific characteristics in a long list.
    • This serves as a filter feature as well, helping users to view only the entries of their current interest.
    • Highlights: This enhancement affects existing commands and many test cases needed to be changed too.
    • The implementation was challenging as it required changes to existing commands and perhaps future commands.
    • This enhancement went through a few stages. In the beginning, find only allowed finding by company name and position.
    • It was then improved to allow the user to specify other fields such as completion status, application outcome, priority and requirements.
    • In the final version, the find command can also check if input for keyword is valid according to the input restriction for different parameters.
