Project: TrackPad

TrackPad is a clean and simple desktop application for tracking past itineraries and creating future ones. It is written and compiled in java, hence it’s available on all platforms. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a beautiful GUI created with JavaFX.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Maintained ItineraryAttraction.
    • What it does: allows the user to create attractions and manage it in their itinerary.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because it gives the user the ability to add start and end time to the attractions created.
    • Highlights: This enhancement required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation was challenging as it requires writing up and testing multiple approaches to see which solution best fit into the existing implementation of TrackPad.
  • New Feature: Added and maintained ItineraryAttractionCommands.
    • What it does: allows the user to add/edit and delete attractions in their itineraries to plan their trips.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because it allows the user to do manipulations of attractions inside an itinerary.
    • Highlights: This enhancement required an in-depth understanding of how the current AttractionCommands work to identify the best design based on the constrains. The ItineraryAttraction was stored in the Itinerary’s Day unliked Attraction which was stored in AttractionList. This difference introduced lots of limitations which were challenging and required writing up new commands and new test cases due to the different implementations compared to AttractionCommands.
