Project: HouR

HouR is a desktop HR management application used for managing and organising personnel data. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 12 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Attribute: [OvertimeHours]
    • What it represents: It keeps track of the number of overtime hours taken by an employee.
    • Justification: Users will need to keep track of employee overtime hours to make changes their bonus salary and performance measures.
  • New Feature: [Sort]
    • What it does: It sorts the list of all employees based on a field and an order.
    • Justification: Users will want to check for employee with the highest salary, the highest overtime hours taken, etc.
    • Highlights: A big problem encountered during the implementation of this feature is that the list editing technique used in find feature does not work with sorting. Therefore, I was able to make this feature work by editing the original employee list in UniqueEmployeeList.
  • New Feature: [DeleteLeave]
    • What it does: It deletes a leave from the list of leaves an employee has taken.
    • Justification: Users might have to remove an allocated employee leave because of a mis-input, which will need a delete feature for the leave
    • Highlights: In the process of implementing the delete leave feature, I realized that the Leave object cannot be integrated well to the JSON data file As a result, I had to implement a JsonAdaptedLeave class that converts the Leave object into its Jackson-friendly version. This is where most of the time is spent on this feature implementation.
