• Task creation,
• Task update,
• Task deletion,
• Task fetching by username,
• Task fetching by status,
• Task fetching by subject.

• MongoDB.

A thorough presentation of testing during development can be found in the QA Test plan.

Security

• Authentication: Single factor, local authentication.
• Authorization: JSON Web Token (JWT).

Differences with previous Nodejs projects

The Task Manager API project :

• uses Typescript for development and TypeDoc for documentation,
• implements a layered architecture approach,
• uses a combination of Node's build-in assert library, Sinon, Chai, and Mocha for unit and integration testing,
• uses class syntax to create custom error classes.

Footnotes
