Project: BandConnect++

BandConnect++ is a desktop application that helps music producers seeking talented musicians to manage their musician contacts and form a band of their preferences. It is optimised for CLI users so that frequent tasks can be done faster by typing in commands.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

• Code contributed: RepoSense link

• New Feature 1: Tagging the musicians with their instruments and genres #73, #83
  • What it does: it allows the user to tag the musicians with their instruments and genres while checking the input against a list of valid instruments and genres
  • Justification: they are more specialised and less error-prone than AB3’s general tags, catering to the needs of the target users (music producers)
  • Highlights: this enhancement involves changing all layers of the application from UI to Storage and is the basis of many other features like find musicians.
  • Credits: I took the inspiration from the tag feature in AB3 and extended it to suit the needs of the target users.
• New Feature 2: Adding musicians to a band #137, #195
  • What it does: it allows the user to add multiple musicians to a band using the indices of the musicians and the band
  • Justification: it is a common use case for music producers to add multiple musicians to a band at once and checking their suitability for the band
  • Highlights: this enhancement involves integrating the existing (refactored from Person) Musician list with the newly created Band list and requires the knowledge of both components.
  • Credits: My teammate did the initial implementation of this feature which supports adding one musician at a time. I extended it to support adding multiple musicians at once. I also refactored the code and enhanced its error handling.
• Enhancements to existing features:
  • Enhanced the find feature to allow the user to find musicians by their tags, instruments, and genres on top of their names #94, #148

  • Set up the product website and did site-wide settings #51
  • Reviewed PRs of team members and gave constructive feedback
  • Structured and formatted the UG and DG to ensure consistency across the team members #200, #222, #224
  • Fixed bugs for other features #144, #194
  • Product-wide modifications, like GUI #140
  • Conducted post-PE-D bugs triage, classify bugs and close duplicate and irrelevant issues
  • Managed the aggregation and distribution of tasks among team members
