• Real-time Notifications: Socket.IO is integrated
for real-time notifications, so users can receive alerts
for friend requests, job updates, and more.
5. Security and Privacy Measures
Security is a key concern, especially since users will be
interacting with each other and sharing sensitive information.
The following measures were implemented:
• Password Encryption: All user passwords are
securely hashed using the bcrypt library, ensuring
that even if the database is compromised, passwords
remain unreadable.
• Secure Data Transmission: HTTPS is enforced
across the entire platform, ensuring that data
transmitted between the client and server is
encrypted.
• Role-Based Access: Different users have different
permissions, ensuring that admins can manage
accounts and view all data, while other users only
have access to their data
6. Testing and Debugging
Testing ensures the platform works as expected and is free of
bugs. The following approaches were used:
• Unit Testing: The core functionalities like user
registration, skill search, and job application were
tested using Jest to ensure they worked
independently as expected.
• Integration Testing: Integration testing was
