PROJECT: EzWatchlist

This document is to document my contributions to the desktop application EzWatchlist.

Overview

EzWatchlist is a desktop application where the user can systematically record down what movie/TV series he/she wants to watch or has watched. It is developed by a group of 5 NUS Computer Science students for the software engineering course based on the Addressbook level 3 codebase provided. One specification is that the user prefers command line interface (CLI), hence the CLI in the application. However, we also implemented a graphical user interface (GUI) created with JavaFX. The project is written in Java.

Summary of contributions

Major enhancement:

Changed the GUI to better suit EzWatchlist

  • What it does:

    • Structures the features into 4 tabs and links them together with the main logic which allows the user to easily navigate around the tabs and execute commands.

    • Ensures that each visible component is displayed with an appropriate size, appearance, space and position.

    • Enhances user experience through user-friendly layout and placeholder text and loading signs to keep the user informed.

    • Enhances user experience through a creative theme.

  • Justification:

    • This feature improves the product significantly because a user would like to use an application that is user friendly and has an appealing appearance.

  • Highlights:

    • This enhancement requires deep understanding of both the implementation of the application itself and also how to use javafx flexibly in order to effectively communicate between the user and the application and present the message in a desirable manner. It also requires repetitive adjustments and testing of the appearance of the elements to produce a final result.

Minor enhancement:

Added a Statistics feature that reflects the user’s personal preferences.
