Aplicação de boas práticas de Engenharia de Software no desenvolvimento de uma API REST para plataforma de gestão de questões e listas de exercícios

Abstract

This paper explores the development of a REST API for a platform designed to manage questions and exercise lists, emphasizing the application of best practices in software engineering. The platform aims to provide a flexible and user-friendly educational tool, allowing users to create, manage, and categorize questions and exercise lists using generic tags like subject, topic, and difficulty level. The web interface is seamlessly integrated with the REST API, which is built on a Clean Architecture and employs Test-Driven Development (TDD) to ensure highquality standards from the outset. This approach not only enhances flexibility and long-term maintainability but also sets the stage for future integrations with various interfaces, including mobile applications, thus increasing the platform’s versatility and usability. The study covers not only the technical implementation of the API but also the processes and methodologies used to promote efficient and sustainable development, aligning with the current needs of the educational and technological landscape.
