The project involved developing a full-stack web application using React for frontend and Laravel for backend, focusing on user management functionalities like authentication, CRUD operations, and responsive design. To ensure security and reliability, the author conducted Static Application Security Testing (SAST) with ESLint and PHPStan, and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) with OWASP ZAP.
Key Features:
- Frontend (React): Included secure authentication, dynamic content, responsive design, and form handling with validation.
- Backend (Laravel): Provided RESTful APIs, efficient database management with Eloquent ORM, and robust input validation.
Security Measures:
- SAST (ESLint and PHPStan): Helped identify code-level issues, focusing on syntax and potential bugs.
- DAST (OWASP ZAP): Identified vulnerabilities in the running application environment, providing a list of potential issues with mitigation recommendations.
The outcome underscored the importance of integrating comprehensive security testing into the development pipeline and collaborating with security teams. The project repositories are available on GitHub, and the author invites feedback and questions via LinkedIn.
