Code Standards and Security

Code Quality Guidelines

Clean and Readable Code

  • Descriptive Variable and Method Names: Use names that clearly describe the purpose of the variable or method.
  • Useful Comments: Add comments only where necessary to explain complex logic or design decisions.
  • Code Organization: Maintain a consistent code structure, breaking it down into smaller, cohesive methods and classes.
  • Consistent Formatting: Use a consistent code formatting style. Utilize tools like .editorconfig to enforce code style across different IDEs.

SOLID Principles

  • Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): A class should have only one responsibility.
  • Open/Closed Principle (OCP): Classes should be open for extension but closed for modification.
  • Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP): Subtypes must be substitutable for their base types.
  • Interface Segregation Principle (ISP): Many specific interfaces are better than one general interface.
  • Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP): Depend on abstractions, not on concrete implementations.

Exception Handling

  • Custom Exceptions: Create custom exceptions for specific situations, making error handling easier.
  • Clear Error Messages: Provide clear and informative error messages.

Example of a custom exception:

public class ResourceNotFoundException extends RuntimeException {
    public ResourceNotFoundException(String message) {
        super(message);
    }
}

Unit Tests

  • Test Coverage: Ensure good test coverage for critical parts of the code.
  • Independent Tests: Tests should be independent of each other and the environment.
  • Mocking: Use mocking frameworks like Mockito to test code units in isolation.

Version Control

  • Frequent Commits: Make frequent commits with descriptive messages.
  • Feature Branches: Use separate branches for each new feature or bug fix.
  • Pull Requests: Use pull requests to review code before merging it into the main branch.

Documentation

  • Code Documentation: Use JavaDoc to document classes and methods.
  • Project Documentation: Keep an updated README.md with project setup and execution instructions.

Security Guidelines

Authentication and Authorization

  • Secure Authentication: Use strong password policies and two-factor authentication (2FA) where applicable.
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Implement RBAC to ensure that users have the appropriate level of access.

Data Protection

  • Encryption: Use encryption to protect sensitive data both in transit and at rest.
  • Secure APIs: Ensure that APIs are secured with proper authentication and authorization mechanisms.

Secure Coding Practices

  • Input Validation: Validate all user inputs to prevent injection attacks.
  • Error Handling: Handle errors gracefully and avoid exposing sensitive information.
  • Regular Updates: Keep dependencies and libraries up to date to avoid vulnerabilities.

Monitoring and Logging

  • Audit Logs: Maintain audit logs to track access and changes to sensitive data.
  • Security Logs: Monitor security logs for suspicious activity.
