Chapter 2 – Planning & Action

2.1 Existing System:

 There are many existing websites and applications in the domain of home searching
99acers, Housing.com, Home Savvy, House Hunt Pro, etc.

 Issues with Existing System:

 Limited Search Options: Users face difficulty in filtering properties based on their
preferences.

 Required Premium Account: Some of the existing applications like Zillow Pro,
Apartments.com Pro, etc. required premium accounts to find the best home for
customers, as it is paid its costlier and not affordable by all customer.

 Outdated Interface & Approach : The current platform lacks modern features and
user-friendly design, resulting in a poor user experience as most of the websites and
application are made by php.net or Python- Django and the approach is also
outdated as they use Waterfall , Incremental or Agile Methodology.

Chapter 6 – Implementation

6.1 Implementation Platform :

6.1.1 Vs Code :

 Visual Studio Code, also commonly referred to as VS Code, is a source-code

editor made by Microsoft with the Electron Framework,for Windows, Linux and
macOS. Features include support for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent
code completion, snippets,code refactoring, and embedded Git , Working with
Git and other SCM providers has never been easier. Review diffs, stage files,
and make commits right from the editor. Push and pull from any hosted SCM
service.

 Want even more features? Install extensions to add new languages, themes,
debuggers, and to connect to additional services. Extensions run in separate
processes, ensuring they won't slow down your editor.

 Debug code right from the editor. Launch or attach to your running apps and
debug with break points, call stacks, and an interactive console.

 Go beyond syntax highlighting and autocomplete with IntelliSense, which

provides smart completions based on variable types, function definitions, and
imported modules.

6.1.2 AWS EC2 :

 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web service that provides resizable
compute capacity in the cloud. It allows users to rent virtual servers (instances)
and run applications on them, accommodating varying workload demands.
Users can choose instance types based on CPU, memory, storage, and
networking requirements. EC2 instances can be launched, stopped, and
terminated as needed, offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Users have
control over operating systems, security settings, and networking
configurations. EC2 supports various operating systems and integrations with
other Amazon Web Services (AWS) products, facilitating scalable and reliable
computing resources for businesses and developers.

Project ID: Implementati

6.1.3 Docker :

 Docker is a platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in

containers, lightweight and portable environments. It enables developers to
package an application and its dependencies into a single unit, ensuring
consistency across different environments.Docker containers isolate applications
from their surroundings, making them easy to deploy and manage across
various systems, whether on-premises or in the cloud. This technology
streamlines the development process by simplifying deployment, scaling, and
management tasks. Additionally, Docker's flexibility allows for the creation of
microservices architectures, enabling applications to be broken down into
smaller, manageable components that can be developed and scaled
independently.

6.1.4 Jenkins :

 Jenkins is an open-source automation server that enables continuous integration

and continuous delivery (CI/CD) of software projects. It facilitates the
automation of building, testing, and deploying applicationsacross various
platforms. Jenkins integrates with numerous tools and plugins to streamline the
software development process, allowing teams to automate repetitive tasks,
manage code changes efficiently, and accelerate the delivery of high-quality
software. Its flexible architecturesupports a wide range of project types, making
it a popular choice for development teams seeking to improve productivity,
collaboration, and the reliability of their software development pipelines.

6.1.5 Git and GitHub :

 An own Git server refers to a private server hosting Git repository, allowing
individuals or organizations to manage and collaborate on codeprojects securely
within their own infrastructure. It offers full control over access, permissions,
and customization, ideal for sensitive or proprietary projects. GitHub, on the
other hand, is a popular web-based platform for hosting Git repositories publicly
or privately. It provides extensive collaboration features, issue tracking, and
integration with various tools, fostering a vibrant developer community.

6.1.6 Firebase :

 Firebase Cloud Database is a real-time, NoSQL database hosted on Google

Cloud Platform, offering seamless integration with web and mobile applications.
It provides a scalable solution for storing and syncing data across devices in real
time, facilitating efficient datamanagement and enabling collaborative features in
projects acrossvarious implementation platforms.

components in isolation. Verify that each component renders correctly and
behaves as expected.

 Integration Testing: Test the interaction between different components within the
React application. Ensure that components work together seamlessly and handle
data flow properly.

 End-to-End Testing: Utilize tools like Cypress or Selenium to test the

application's functionality from the user's perspective. Automate browser
interactions to simulate user behavior and verify the overall application flow.

 Snapshot Testing: Employ snapshot testing to capture the current state of React
components and detect unexpected changes in UI output.

7.1.2 Docker Testing Strategies :

 Image Testing: Ensure Docker images are built correctly and contain all
necessary dependencies.

 Container Testing: Validate that containers spin up properly and function as

expected in different environments.

 Integration Testing: Test interactions between Docker containers and other

components of the system.

7.1.3 Jenkins Testing Strategies :

 Pipeline Testing: Verify the integrity and functionality of Jenkins pipelines.

 Integration Testing: Ensure Jenkins integrates seamlessly with other tools and
services in the DevOps toolchain.
