CodePulse: High-Performance Code Execution Engine

A Professional Monorepo with React Frontend, Node.js Backend, E2E Tests & High QA Coverage

Project Overview

CodePulse is a professional-grade monorepo showcasing software engineering excellence with:

• Frontend: React with TypeScript & Vite (primary) + HTML/JS fallback
• Backend: Node.js with Fastify & TypeScript
• Testing: Vitest (unit), Playwright (e2e), test infrastructure in place
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions with automated testing, linting, and deployments
• Deployment: GitHub Pages (Frontend) + Vercel (Backend)

Testing & QA

Frontend Testing

• Unit Tests: Vitest with React Testing Library
• Coverage: In development (basic test structure implemented)
• Configuration: frontend/vitest.config.ts

Backend Testing

• Unit Tests: Vitest with mocked services
• Coverage: In development (basic test structure implemented)
• Configuration: backend/vitest.config.ts

E2E Testing

• Framework: Playwright
• Browsers: Chromium, Firefox, WebKit
• Configuration: e2e/playwright.config.ts

QA Metrics Snapshot

• Unit Testing: Vitest (Test structure in place)
• E2E Testing: Playwright (Cross-browser verification)
• Static Analysis: ESLint + TypeScript (Strict mode)
• Continuous Tracking: Codecov integration for coverage regression

CI/CD Pipeline

Automated Workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml)

1. Lint & Test Job

   • Runs on: Push to main, Pull requests
   • Node.js versions: 18.x
   • Steps:
     • Checkout code
     • Install Node.js
     • Install dependencies with Yarn
     • Run ESLint
     • Run unit tests with coverage
     • Upload coverage to Codecov

2. Frontend Deploy Job

   • Runs after lint-and-test succeeds
   • Builds React app with Vite
   • Deploys to GitHub Pages
   • Status: ✅ Green checkmark

3. Status Badges

   • CI/CD Pipeline: Automatic from GitHub Actions
   • Code Coverage: From Codecov integration

Code Coverage

• Frontend: Test infrastructure in place (coverage metrics to be implemented)
• Backend: Test infrastructure in place (coverage metrics to be implemented)
• Overall: Test framework ready for coverage implementation
• Codecov integration for continuous tracking
