In response to the constant evolution in web development and ongoing advances in cybersecurity, PTA is undertaking a comprehensive project to update the Angular framework and associated dependencies for the Elogbook project developed by PTA. The main goal is to improve the security posture of our web applications by moving from Angular version 4 to the latest stable version, version 17.
Supplement
The current Angular version 4 will be updated to version 17 to integrate the latest features, optimizations and security improvements from the Angular team. Migration tools and best practices will be used to ensure a smooth transition. All dependencies, including 3rd party libraries, will be carefully reviewed and updated to their latest versions to address security risks. Npm audit is used to assess and fix security risks related to outdated dependencies. In parallel to the upgrade process, the codebase will be reworked to align with the latest Angular coding standards and best practices. Unit tests and integration tests are performed to identify and fix any regressions or issues during the upgrade process.
Subject description
In continuous support for electricity, gas, district heating or water networks, operations events have to be scheduled and documented. This module is responsible for recording, planning and reminding about operations log entries and it supports the shift-change process. All entries are saved in audit-proof form. This module is made available to network service providers via a community. As the software (and therefore the EPL license) is provided via the Eclipse platform, any interested network operator can use the solution. There are no license fees.
