Details

The main goal for this project is to enhance an existing prototype web application by improving its stability and reliability. This will be achieved through writing comprehensive unit tests and integration tests for both the frontend and backend of the application (both in Next.js!). The app is built using Next.js, MongoDB, and Firebase, and we are aiming to ensure the code is well-tested and the application is running smoothly before it’s deployed on Vercel.


What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

Your tasks will include:

  • Devise a Testing Strategy: Collaborate with the team to create a test strategy by identifying high-priority and high-risk areas of the codebase that need thorough testing. Focus on key features, complex logic, and critical integrations, ensuring comprehensive test coverage through unit and integration tests for the most impactful parts of the application.
  • Testing Existing Code: Write and implement unit tests and integration tests for the existing frontend and backend codebase to ensure it meets the required functionality and quality standards.
  • CI/CD Pipelines: Assist in integrating the new tests in CI/CD pipelines to streamline the development and deployment workflow. This is a bonus skill we are looking for, but prior experience will be a big plus.
  • Collaboration and Documentation: Collaborate with the team to refine features and fix issues. Document your work and ensure that the tests are properly described for future developers.

Bonus tasks: 

  • Frontend Development with Next.js: Improve or extend the client-side application using Next.js, focusing on enhancing features and ensuring proper test coverage for components and pages.
  • Backend Development with Next.js API Routes: Utilize Next.js server-side features for creating API routes and backend logic. You'll need to ensure these routes are fully tested and work seamlessly with the frontend.


Required Skills:

  • Strong experience with Next.js (both frontend and backend/server-side features).
  • Practical experience with MongoDB for storing and retrieving data.
  • Solid understanding of Firebase Authentication for handling user authentication and management.
  • Familiarity with unit testing and integration testing practices.
  • Familiarity with Vercel for deployment is a bonus, but not required.
  • CI/CD pipeline experience is a bonus.


Deliverables
  • A formal test strategy document outlining key testing priorities, objectives, and methodologies.
  • Comprehensive test documentation, including clear instructions on running tests and interpreting results.
  • Updated CI/CD pipeline configurations with integrated tests.
