Desenvolvimento de uma aplicação web acadêmica utilizando ferramentas e práticas DevOps na Universidade Federal do Ceará, Campus Quixadá-CE

Abstract

This work presents the development of an academic web application using DevOps tools and practices, applied to the context of the UFC, Quixadá Campus. Initially, the project emerged within the scope of the PAIP of the Computer Networks course, with the objective of creating an efficient system for managing academic tutoring sessions. The development included the clear definition of functional and technical requirements, with implementation of the front-end in React and TailwindCSS, and back-end in NestJS with a PostgreSQL database using Prisma ORM. To ensure fast and stable deliveries, a pipeline of continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) was configured with GitHub Actions, automating build, test, and deploy processes of the applications on the Vercel and Render platforms. Additionally, the application was subjected to an integration test between the tools and a usability questionnaire through the UEQ, presenting positive results related to efficiency, attractiveness, and reliability. The study explicitly acknowledges limitations regarding the measurement of collaboration and suggests, as future work, the use of more specific quantitative metrics and advanced continuous monitoring tools.
