 lOMoARcPSD|59380976

4.2.1 User Interface (UI)

• Swing Components: Java Swing was utilized to create a responsive and visually
appealing interface. Components like JFrame, JPanel, JTextField, JLabel, and
JButton were used to create the form elements, ensuring that each section of the
resume (Personal Information, Skills, Work Experience, Qualifications) is clearly
defined and easy for the user to fill in.

• Dynamic Layout::The interface adjusts dynamically based on user inputs, al-

lowing for a smooth flow between different sections (Personal Info, Skills, Work
Experience, etc.). GroupLayout was used for a flexible and responsive layout that
accommodates various screen sizes.

4.2.2 Database Integration

• The application was designed to store user data securely. Initially, data is collected
from the user interface fields and passed to a backend component (likely a database
or file storage system). For testing purposes, the data was stored in temporary
variables or files to ensure smooth interaction with other components.

• Database Operations: Using Java’s JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), the

application is capable of interacting with a backend database to store and retrieve
user details. Although not fully implemented in the initial stages of the project,
the structure for future database integration was laid out, ensuring scalability.

4.2.3 File Management

• One of the key features of the Resume Builder is the ability to generate and
save a resume in a readable format. Using the FileWriter class, the application
automatically compiles the user’s input into a structured resume format and saves
it to a text file, which can later be edited or printed.

• The application allows users to save their resume with a custom name, making it
easy to manage multiple resumes for different job applications.

4.3 User Experience and Interface Evaluation

The user experience (UX) was a primary focus in the design of the Resume Builder. Dur-
ing testing, users were asked to create resumes using the application, and their feedback
was collected. The results of these tests provided valuable insights into the functionality
and design of the application.

ence) was smooth, allowing users to easily navigate through the application without
feeling overwhelmed.

• Error Handling:In case of incomplete or incorrect entries, the application prompted

users to correct the missing fields, preventing incomplete resumes from being gen-
erated.

4.3.2 Visual Appeal

• Design: The application was visually appealing, with a clean, simple interface.
The use of labels with bold fonts for section headers (e.g., Personal Information,
Skills, Work Experience) ensured that users could easily identify where to input
data.

• Profile Picture Upload:The ability to upload a profile picture added a personal

touch to the resume. Users appreciated the functionality to browse and select an
image to display alongside their details.

4.3.3 File Management and Saving

• Text File Creation: The process of generating and saving resumes was straight-
forward. Once the user filled in all the necessary fields, they were able to click on
the Create button to generate a formatted text resume. This functionality worked
as expected, and the resumes were saved with clear file names based on the user’s
input (e.g., “PriyadarshanKumar.txt”).

• Customizability: Users appreciated the ability to generate resumes in a custom

format, allowing them to adjust the structure of their resumes to suit their personal
preferences.

4.4 Performance Evaluation

The performance of the Resume Builder application was analyzed under different sce-
narios, including creating resumes with various amounts of data, saving large files, and
handling multiple inputs.

4.4.1 Speed and Responsiveness

• The application performed well during testing, with minimal lag when switching
between sections or generating resumes. It responded quickly to user inputs, even
when multiple fields were filled in rapidly.

• The FileWriter class ensured that the resume was saved quickly to the local file
system, even with longer entries.

4.4.2 Memory Usage

Memory usage was efficient, with the application running smoothly without any notice-
able delays or memory-related issues, even when handling multiple user inputs.

4.4.3 Error Handling

The application handled invalid inputs (e.g., empty fields or improperly formatted text)
gracefully, providing the user with error messages or prompts to complete the required
fields.

4.5 Challenges Encountered

During the development of the Resume Builder, several challenges were encountered,
many of which provided valuable learning opportunities.

4.5.1 Data Validation

• Ensuring that user inputs were correctly validated posed some challenges, especially
when dealing with complex data types such as email addresses or phone numbers.
Regular expressions were later implemented to validate inputs, such as ensuring the
correct format for email addresses.

• Some users initially entered incorrect or incomplete information, leading to incom-

plete resume outputs. This issue was mitigated by adding checks that prompted
the user to complete the fields before generating the resume.

4.5.2 File Management

• Saving the resume in the correct file format and ensuring that file paths were cor-
rectly handled across different operating systems was another challenge. Ensuring
that the generated files were readable and well-formatted required careful handling
of newline characters and file writing methods.

4.5.3 User Interface Design

• While Java Swing provided robust tools for creating the user interface, managing
the layout of multiple components (especially when handling dynamic user input)
proved challenging. Adjustments were made to improve the responsiveness of the
interface across different screen sizes, ensuring that all elements were appropriately
aligned.
