• This is a sample project for Software Engineering (SE) students.
  Example usages:

  • as a starting point of a course project (as opposed to writing everything from scratch)
  • as a case study

• The project simulates an ongoing software project for a desktop application (called AddressBook) used for managing contact details.

  • It is written in OOP fashion. It provides a reasonably well-written code base bigger (around 6 KLoC) than what students usually write in beginner-level SE modules, without being overwhelmingly big.
  • It comes with a reasonable level of user and developer documentation.

• It is named AddressBook Level 3 (AB3 for short) because it was initially created as a part of a series of AddressBook projects (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 ...).

• For the detailed documentation of this project, see the Address Book Product Website.

• This project is a part of the se-education.org initiative. If you would like to contribute code to this project, see se-education.org for more info.

• This project will be morphed and evolved into a tool to help SEP officer to better monitor the student and application data and make process more smooth and efficient.
