Curriculum Vitae Analyzer

A CV is a representation of a candidate’s profile, skill sets and achievements. Matching CV across a job description to identify potential candidates to interview is a tedious job. In this project we will be solving this problem by designing and implementing resume parser and analyzer which will help recruiters to process resumes by extracting data in a meaningful way given a certain job description. The application is aimed for recruiters to efficiently manage electronic resume documents sent via the internet.

Getting Started

To get started, clone the repository and install the dependencies:

Prerequisites

You need git to clone the angular-seed repository. You can get git from http://git-scm.com/.

We also use a number of node.js tools to initialize and test the project. You must have node.js and its package manager (npm) installed. You can get them from http://nodejs.org/.

Clone Repository

Clone the repository using git:

git clone https://github.com/heyjiawei/Curriculum-Vitae-Analyzer.git

Install Dependencies

We have two kinds of dependencies in this project: tools and angular framework code. The tools help us manage and test the application.

• We get the tools we depend upon via npm, the node package manager.
• We get the angular code via bower, a client-side code package manager.

We have preconfigured npm to automatically run bower so we can simply do:

npm install

You should find that you have two new folders in your project.

• node_modules - contains the npm packages for the tools we need
• app/bower_components - contains the angular framework files

Run the Application

Start the server by running:

npm start

You should be able to access the app at http://localhost:8000/app/index.html.

Alternatively, you may choose to install the simple http-server

sudo npm install -g http-server

Then you can start your own development web server to serve static files from a folder by running:

http-server -a localhost -p 8000

Testing

Running Unit Tests

The app comes preconfigured with unit tests. These are written in Jasmine, which we run with the Karma Test Runner. We provide a Karma configuration file to run them.

• the configuration is found at karma.conf.js
• the unit tests are found next to the code they are testing and are named as ..._test.js.

The easiest way to run the unit tests is to use the supplied npm script:

npm test

This script will start the Karma test runner to execute the unit tests. Moreover, Karma will sit and watch the source and test files for changes and then re-run the tests whenever any of them change. This is the recommended strategy; if your unit tests are being run every time you save a file then you receive instant feedback on any changes that break the expected code functionality.

You can also ask Karma to do a single run of the tests and then exit. This is useful if you want to check that a particular version of the code is operating as expected. The project contains a predefined script to do this:

npm run test-single-run
