Implementation Strategy

Overview

This section describes the approach for delivering Conference Expo Portal v2.0, including development methodology, testing, deployment, and quality assurance. The strategy is designed to ensure a robust, maintainable, and timely delivery of the platform.

Development Methodology

  • The project will use a continuous delivery approach, with feature branches merged into main when ready.
  • Weekly calls will be held with Nimlok to review progress, gather feedback, and keep the project on track.
  • Features will be deployed to a development environment for review throughout the project.

Testing Strategy

  • The API will be covered by unit and integration tests.
  • The front-end will use Vitest for unit and integration tests, and Playwright (with Nuxt Test Utils) for end-to-end testing.
  • Accessibility testing will be performed using axe-core.
  • Manual QA and user acceptance testing will be conducted in the development environment.

Deployment Pipeline

  • GitLab CI will be used for continuous integration, with DeployHQ handling deployments via webhooks.
  • Rollbacks are supported via DeployHQ.
  • Environments (development, staging, production) are described in the Architecture.

Continuous Integration/Delivery

  • Code is deployed when feature branches are merged into main and all tests pass.
  • Code review and approval are required before merging.
  • Automated code quality checks and security scans are enforced.

Quality Assurance

  • Acceptance criteria will be defined for each feature or milestone.
  • Sentry will be used for error tracking.
  • Bugs and issues will be tracked using ClickUp (with Nimlok access).
  • Stakeholder feedback will be gathered during weekly calls and incorporated into the backlog.

Code Quality & Static Analysis

  • ESLint and Prettier will be used for API code style and formatting.
  • TypeScript will be used for type safety in both backend and frontend.
  • ESLint will be used for frontend static analysis.
  • Automated type checking in CI/CD pipeline.
