Project: TruthTable

TruthTable is a task-management software specially targeted towards tech-savvy university students leading teams in software engineering modules to build projects. It helps track the team’s progress and delegate tasks effectively.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: assign random - Added command to assign tasks randomly.
    • What it does: Assigns a particular task to a random team member that is not already assigned to the task
    • Justification: When team leads have to assign many tasks to people, this might lead to “decision paralysis”. A lot of times, a task can be done by anyone. This feature allows team leads to assign tasks without needing to decide who specifically to assign the task to.
    • Highlights: The java.util.Random class was used to generate a random user index to be assigned. Care was taken to first filter users that have not been assigned that task (so as not to assign the same user twice).
  • New Feature: summary - Added command to see a quick summary of the tasks each member is working on.
    • What it does: Displays a breakdown of the number of tasks assigned to each person.
    • Justification: In a large project, it’s useful to have an overview on the number of tasks each person is working on to ensure a reasonably fair distribution of work. However, manually counting the number of tasks done by each user is very time-consuming.
    • Highlights: For the implementation of this feature, a HashMap was used to keep track of the counts of tasks for each team member. As the assignees of each task are stored within each team member, a linear pass through the list of tasks and each of its members was done instead of a linear pass of tasks for each member. This implementation reduces the runtime of the feature to linear (i.e. O(n)) in terms of task-assignee pairs.
  • New Feature: Added completion percentage of tasks to the UI.
    • What it does: Displays the number of completed tasks, total tasks and a percentage of completion above the task list.
    • Justification: This feature allows the user to see the amount of work left at a glance, which is very useful for a task management application.
  • New Feature: tasksof - Allow users to see tasks assigned to each user.
    • What it does: Given a particular user (specified by index), it shows the tasks assigned to that user.
    • Justification: This feature allows the user to see the tasks assigned to a particular user, which is very useful for a task management application.

  • Community:
    • PRs reviewed (with non-trivial review comments): #75 , #88 , #95 , #100
    • Contributed to forum discussions and helped peers with debugging (examples: #404)
