6.Perform security testing of the REST APIs (10%)

• Validate authentication and authorization (OAuth/JWT) tokens.

• Test for common vulnerabilities like SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS).

• Audit API headers for sensitive data exposure.

7.⁠ ⁠Perform performance testing of the REST APIs (5%)

• Establish performance baselines (latency and throughput) for key endpoints.

• Run load tests to simulate concurrent user traffic.

• Identify and report memory leaks or database bottlenecks under stress.

8.⁠ ⁠Deploy the code to production on PCF cloud platforms (5%)

• Manage manifest files and environment variables for the PCF space.

• Execution cf push commands and verification of successful container staging.

• Coordinate deployment strategies to minimize downtime.

9.⁠ ⁠Monitor the production environment for any issues (5%)

• Configure alerts for 4xx and 5xx error spikes in production logs.

• Analyze dashboard metrics (CPU, Memory) for application health.
