# Softify

Softify is a zero-runtime-dependency Node.js demonstration platform covering software engineering quality, QA/QC, SDLC/STLC, requirements, test management, security, automation, environments, releases, reporting, traceability, testing-tool integration concepts, and local test-generation assistance.

Quick start

Requirements: Node.js 22 or newer.

npm start

Open http://localhost:4000.

Demo users:

Role	Email	Password

Developer	dev@softify.local	Develop@123
Security Engineer	security@softify.local	Security@123

Reset demo data:

npm run seed

Run tests:

npm test

Included modules

• Dashboard and engineering-quality KPIs
• Project and SDLC lifecycle management
• Requirements engineering
• Traceability matrix
• Test assets, plans, cases, and executions
• Defect lifecycle and root-cause fields
• QA/QC audits and quality gates
• Vulnerability management for SAST, DAST, SCA and related categories
• Automation result repository
• Environment and release management
• Documentation repository
• Testing Tools Hub
• Reports and authenticated CSV export
• Rule-assisted local test generation and defect analysis
• JWT authentication, role permissions, audit events, validation, security headers, password hashing, and login rate limiting
• Responsive dark/light UI and four accent themes

Architecture

• server.js — application entry point
• src/app.js — HTTP/static application handler
• src/router.js — authenticated API router
• src/store.js — atomic JSON persistence layer
• src/routes/ — API modules
• public/ — browser application
• data/softify.json — generated local data store

This build deliberately uses only Node.js built-ins, so npm install is not required.

Important production note

This is a broad, runnable reference implementation—not a finished regulated-enterprise SaaS deployment. Before production use, replace JSON persistence with PostgreSQL, add migrations, object storage, queues/workers, SSO/MFA, tenant isolation, CSRF strategy if cookie authentication is introduced, hardened secrets management, immutable audit storage, backup/restore, observability, external-tool adapters, malware scanning for uploads, and formal security review.
