SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES AND NON-FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Basic Details
  • A WebBased application
  • PHP (+ symfony frameworks), "MySQL" Apache running on a Linux server
  • Hosted at Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Technologies
  • Symfony 2
  • HTML5
  • JQuery/JQueryUI for scripting/AJAX, http://jquery.com/
  • LESS for stylesheets, http://lesscss.org/ - server-side compile to CSS
  • Internal API for business logic and data access
            -> No local session management (sessions passed through to API)
            -> No local persistent storage (API stores data... but there may be local cache of API data)
            -> No outgoing e-mail (e-mails and other messages are send by the API)
            -> No accessing third-party APIs, that will be handled by the internal API (some exceptions may be necessary)

Other non-functional requirements
  • The UI must support localization
  • This: http://cwe.mitre.org/top25/
  • Because of the whitelabeling requirement, Symfony routing must be used for generating URLs. If you need to create URLs in javascripts, have a look at FOSJsRoutingBundle (exports routes and routing functionality to javascript)

XHR / AJAX pattern:
  • jQuery must be used to make the XHR requests
  • XHR responses from server should be in a specific format
            -> application/json Content-Type
            -> JSON encoded content, list of "commands". See for example the signinAction in WorldBundle.
            -> Global jQuery 'ajaxComplete' handler (see ajax-complete.js in WorldBundle). Feel free to add supported commands.
  • URLs that handle XHR requests should end in .json
