---

Overview

Insurelytics is a desktop client management application for insurance agents. Insurelytics facilitates the tracking of client and policies, and also generate statistical analytics to provide insights for the agent. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 85 kLoC.

Summary of contributions

• Major enhancement: Added the display feature.

  • What it does: Displays indicators of the address book in specified format. The agent can visualise the age group breakdown, policy popularity breakdown, and gender breakdown of his address book. Visualisation comes in the form of bar chart, pie chart, or line chart.

  • Justification: Analytics of the data in the address book yield insight for the agent. This facilitates data-driven decisions by the agent.

  • Highlights:

    • The display mechanism follows the Model-View-Controller design pattern. It also uses an OOP solution, which features the use of abstract classes to reuse code. The OOP solution is illustrated in the developer’s guide.

    • display also required mastery of JavaFX.
