Project: TrackBeau

TrackBeau is a desktop application built for beauty salons to manage their customer base. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature:

  • Added feature to obtain summary data on customer information such as pie charts on customer attributes and line chart on customers gained per month in the current year. A total of 7 chart commands were added to enable experienced users with a large customer base to easily understand their customer demographics. ** Challenges faced: Explored different design considerations such as a statistics panel with all charts and later decided on a pop-up window style for the charts to facilitate access to the charts.

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link

  • Project management:
    • Contributed to discussions on user stories to prioritise and relating code between different features.
  • Enhancements to existing features:
    • Added attributes to customers for salons to track such as birthday, registration date, skin type, hair type, preferred staff, preferred services and allergies.
    • Added feature to find by registration date and birthdate.
    • Made customers unique by phone number and email, rather than just by name, to facilitate the implementation of other features like Booking.
