The project aims to enhance the unit testing and DevOps capabilities of SSP Systems LTD's Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layer. This layer serves as a crucial bridge between the Next.js server and Laravel, utilizing REST and GraphQL via a tRPC wrapper. The primary goal is to increase unit test coverage, ensuring that the BFF layer is robust and reliable. Additionally, students will implement Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) workflows using GitHub Actions. This will involve creating a YAML-based deployment pipeline to streamline and automate the deployment process. By applying classroom knowledge of software testing and DevOps practices, students will gain hands-on experience in improving software quality and deployment efficiency.

The deliverables for this project include a comprehensive suite of unit tests that significantly increase the test coverage of the BFF layer to 70%. Students will also deliver a fully functional CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions, documented with a YAML configuration file. This pipeline will automate the linting, testing and deployment processes, ensuring seamless integration and delivery of updates. Additionally, a final report detailing the improvements made and the methodologies used will be provided.
