The development and deployment of a modern full-stack web application require a cohesive and
efficient set of technologies. The system is typically built and tested across different Operating
Systems. Most developers use Windows 11 for local development due to its user-friendly interface
and broad compatibility with software. For deployment and production environments, Ubuntu 22.04
LTS is commonly preferred because of its stability, security, and better support for server-based
applications.

On the frontend, the application utilizes React.js version 18.2.0, a powerful JavaScript library used
for building dynamic and interactive user interfaces. React 18 introduces features like concurrent
rendering, automatic batching, and useId for improved performance and user experience. It allows
developers to structure reusable components and efficiently manage the application’s state and
rendering.

The backend is powered by NODE.JS, a popular Java-based framework designed to simplify the
development of RESTful web services. The framework's ease of configuration, scalability, and
support for microservices architecture make it ideal for large-scale applications.

For database management, the system employs Mongodb a non-relational database that supports
complex queries, JSON fields, and high-performance indexing. It is used in to enable object-relational
mapping. This integration abstracts away the complexity of SQL queries and allows developers to
interact with the database using standard Java objects and repository interfaces.

The application development is supported by various developer tools. Postman is used to test and
debug API endpoints, allowing developers to verify request/response structures and response times.
Chrome DevTools is essential for frontend performance tuning, CSS debugging, and inspecting

51

network activities. For code development, Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is used for frontend (React)
projects due to its speed and large extension ecosystem, while IntelliJ IDEA is the preferred IDE for
backend development with Spring Boot, offering powerful code completion, debugging, and JPA
support.

The application is tested across modern web browsers, primarily Google Chrome (version 114 or
above) and Mozilla Firefox. Chrome offers superior developer tools and speed, while Firefox is
valuable for testing accessibility and privacy-focused behaviors. Ensuring compatibility across these
browsers guarantees a smooth experience for a wide range of users.

In conclusion, this technology stack and development environment ensure a streamlined, efficient,
and scalable approach to building full-stack applications. Each component is carefully chosen to
optimize performance, security, maintainability, and cross-platform compatibility, all of which are
crucial for delivering a reliable web application.

5.4 PERFORMANCE RESULTS:

Test Case Avg. Time (ms)


JWT Login Request 350
Product List API 400
Add to Cart (Frontend only) 50 (instant)
Table 5.4: Response Time

 Performance Metrics Explanation – Key Test Cases


To evaluate the responsiveness and performance of the web application, various test cases were
executed, and their average response times were recorded in milliseconds (ms). These metrics
help identify areas of strength and potential optimization across both frontend and backend
components.

 JWT Login Request (350 ms)


The JWT (JSON Web Token) Login Request represents the time taken by the backend to
authenticate a user. This includes validating the user’s credentials, generating a JWT, and sending
it back to the frontend. On average, the request completes in 350 milliseconds, which is
considered an acceptable response time for secure authentication. This performance indicates that
Vidya Niketan college of Engineering, Bota B.E. (Computer)
52

the backend efficiently handles encryption, token generation, and user validation logic without
significant delay.

 Product List API (400 ms)


The Product List API is responsible for fetching the available rental items from the database and
returning them to the frontend. The average response time is 400 milliseconds, which includes
querying the database (MongoDB), processing the data, and sending it through the backend API
to the frontend. This slight increase in time, compared to login, is expected due to the data volume
and processing required. Still, the time is within a usable range and provides a smooth user
experience when loading the product catalog.

 Add to Cart – Frontend Only (50 ms)


The Add to Cart operation, being a frontend-only interaction in this case, is extremely fast with
an average execution time of just 50 milliseconds. Since it does not require any backend
communication or data persistence, it simply updates the UI state (e.g., using React hooks or
context). This makes the experience feel instantaneous to the user and contributes to overall UI
responsiveness.
