3 min read

Here’s a detailed outline for the Technical Specifications document focusing on point number three under development:

Technical Specifications

Backend Development

  • Technology Stack:

    • Programming Language: Python (using frameworks like Flask or FastAPI) or Node.js for server-side logic.
    • Database: PostgreSQL or MySQL for storing user credentials and system data.
    • API Integration: Implement API calls to vendor services (e.g., Extreme Networks, Juniper Mist) for credential generation. (We do NOT have our own API)

  • Core Functionality:

    • Credential Generation: Develop functions to interact with vendor APIs and generate unique Wi-Fi credentials.
    • Data Management: Implement CRUD operations for managing user data and credentials in the database.
    • Security: Ensure secure handling of API keys and sensitive data, using encryption and secure storage practices.

Frontend Development

  • Technology Stack:

    • Framework: React or Vue.js for building a responsive and interactive user interface.
    • Design System: Use a design system like Material-UI or Bootstrap for consistent styling and components.

  • User Interface:

    • Dashboard: Create a dashboard for users to view and manage their Wi-Fi credentials.
    • QR Code Display: Implement a feature to generate and display QR codes for Wi-Fi access.
    • Responsive Design: Ensure the interface is accessible on various devices, including tablets and smartphones.
    • Manage time based credentials set to expire in 30 min 1 Hour etc

Integration Testing

  • Test Scenarios:

    • API Calls: Verify successful communication with vendor APIs and correct handling of responses.
    • User Interface: Test the functionality and usability of the frontend components.
    • Security: Conduct tests to ensure data protection and secure access control.

  • Tools and Frameworks:

    • Testing Frameworks: Use tools like Jest or Mocha for unit testing and Selenium for end-to-end testing.
    • Continuous Integration: Set up CI/CD pipelines using platforms like GitHub Actions or Jenkins to automate testing and deployment.

Backend Development Enhancements

  • Administrator Dashboard:

    • Develop an advanced administrator dashboard with features for monitoring network activity, managing user roles, and viewing detailed analytics on credential usage and expiration.

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):

    • Implement RBAC to allow administrators to define and manage user permissions, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive functions and data.

  • Audit Logs:

    • Introduce audit logging to track changes made by administrators and users, providing a detailed history of actions for security and compliance purposes.

  • Scalability Considerations:

    • Plan for horizontal scaling of the backend services to accommodate growing user bases and increased data loads, ensuring consistent performance.

Frontend Development Enhancements

  • Customizable User Interface:
    • Allow administrators to customize the dashboard layout and features according to their specific needs and preferences.

Security Enhancements

  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
    • Implement MFA for administrators to enhance security and prevent unauthorized access to the backend system.

Integration Testing Enhancements

  • Load Testing:
    • Conduct load testing to ensure the system can handle high volumes of traffic and data processing without performance degradation.

This document outlines the technical specifications for developing FreshPass, focusing on backend and frontend development, as well as integration testing.
