PRESENTATION:

To move forward as a system architecture engineer, the student needs to gain experience in advanced web technologies. This subject deals with some Javascript technologies used often in Internet applications that large enterprise organizations require, and also provides knowledge that can be harnessed to prepare a certification as architect of NodeJS systems. API REST (Representational State Transfer) is designed to take advantage of existing protocols. While REST can be used over nearly any protocol, it usually takes advantage of HTTP when used for Web APIs Web Services.

Since many of us are now writing or maintaining RESTful microservices and these services/ APIs are exposed to the web and distributed over different networks, they are vulnerable to risks and security threats which affect the processes based on them. Hence, testing becomes necessary to ensure they perform correctly. To test these APIs, it's very important to automate REST API test cases instead of relying on manual testing.

Continuous integration / delivery with bitbucket and azure will be used during the subject.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

Day by day the student must compose his portfolio of the subject. It include lectures summary and solved exercises. According to the previous paragraph calendar, several exercises will be proposed and its solutions will be discussed some time later. The solutions of everyday exercises will be included in the portfolio and sent to the PDU when they are required. The lecturer will upload his lectures notes on the PDU (Plataforma Docente Universitaria). Self-learning: after class, students have to finish the task has left uncompleted in class or do remain ones. All task must be uploaded to PDU in the time ordered. Students are recommended to consult the lecturer by e-mail.

At the end of the term students must pass a test. It could be composed of some questions, exercises, or oral presentation.
