What is ProjectTrace? ​

ProjectTrace is an enterprise-style QA and delivery tracker.

It is meant to feel like the kind of internal tool a product team would use to keep planning work, test execution, and defect tracking connected.

Why it exists ​

The app gives you:

  • a real relational data model
  • lots of list and detail views
  • pagination, search, and filtering
  • role-based access for provisioning users
  • many-to-many traceability links
  • a large seeded dataset for load testing

That makes it useful for learning:

  • CRUD workflows
  • dashboard aggregation
  • linked entity navigation
  • API measurement with k6
  • browser or API flow simulation with JMeter

Domain hierarchy ​

Project -> Epic -> Feature -> Requirement -> Test Case -> Test Run -> Bug

Main areas ​

  • Planning: projects, epics, features, requirements
  • Testing: test cases, test runs
  • Defects: bugs and comments
  • System: users and activity logs

Authentication model ​

  • The first admin can be created from the login page if the database is empty.
  • Admins can provision users.
  • Editors can work with day-to-day data but cannot delete records.
  • The frontend uses JWT bearer tokens.
