React-based web application. • Reimplement Microsoft Access forms as browser-based data-entry and data-management interfaces. • Reimplement Access subforms as relational parent-and-child views. • Develop API-driven navigation, search, filtering, and SQL-backed data views. • Develop dynamic user-interface components, including cascading dropdowns and conditional field behavior. • Implement inline editing through editable grids and table components. • Develop multi-record views, data tables, dashboards, reports, risk displays, and requirements traceability views. • Develop intuitive interfaces that allow users to search, filter, sort, navigate, update, and analyze complex Test and Evaluation data. • Implement application state management using Redux, Redux Toolkit, React Context, or a comparable approach. • Ensure interfaces are responsive and usable across approved browsers and workstation configurations. • Incorporate user feedback while minimizing unnecessary disruption to established TEDB workflows. • Design, develop, document, test, and maintain backend application services and REST APIs. • Migrate macro-based business logic into the application and API layers. • Implement field validation, automated updates, conditional logic, workflow rules, and error handling. • Replace Access saved queries with secure API endpoints, optimized SQL queries, database views, or stored procedures. • Integrate the application with the existing TEDB SQL database backend. • Support controlled database-schema evolution where required to meet approved application objectives. • Maintain separation between presentation, business-logic, API, and database layers. • Develop secure and maintainable services supporting data creation, retrieval, update, reporting, and authorized administrative functions. • Ensure system performance meets or exceeds the capabilities of the current Access implementation. • Support integration of the application with the government-approved authentication and authorization solution. • Implement or integrate role-based access controls for authorized internal and external users. • Support Federal authentication requirements involving identification, identity verification, multifactor authentication, phishing resistance, FIPS-validated technologies, and secure session management. • Apply secure software development practices throughout design, development, testing, and deployment. • Support cybersecurity documentation, vulnerability remediation, code scanning, dependency management, and authorization activities. • Work with cybersecurity and infrastructure personnel to address security controls without disrupting required operational workflows. • Protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of TEDB data. • Preserve current TEDB reporting capabilities while supporting future reporting expansion. • Reimplement current Access reports within the web application, SQL environment, or an approved enterprise reporting capability. • Support reports associated with requirements, test procedures, test cases, test observations, Test Observation Reports, risks, results, and requirements traceability. • Develop exports and formatted data products required by Test and Evaluation personnel and program stakeholders. • Support integration with SQL Server Reporting Services or another approved reporting platform when selected. • Validate report output against the existing TEDB application. • Develop unit, component, integration, regression, API, and database tests. • Conduct side-by-side comparison of the Access and web-based TEDB implementations. • Validate forms, workflows, calculations, automated updates, queries, reports, and business rules. • Support User Acceptance Testing with Navy users and Test and Evaluation personnel. • Conduct data validation to ensure that the modernized application preserves data accuracy and integrity. • Identify, document, prioritize, and resolve software defects and data discrepancies. • Develop repeatable testing processes and environments. • Maintain software test results and traceability to approved functional requirements. • Support development of the application deployment, cutover, training, and transition strategies. • Develop user guides, training materials, Standard Operating Procedures, administration guides, and technical documentation. • Support deployment of the application into approved Navy environments. • Assist with transition from the Access front end to the web-based application. • Support controlled decommissioning of the Access front end after validation and government approval. • Provide post-deployment troubleshooting, maintenance, performance optimization, and feature enhancements. • Support application configuration management, source control, release management, and continuous integration activities. • Maintain system architecture, API, database, workflow, and sustainment documentation. • Work directly with Navy users to understand requirements, demonstrate capabilities, and incorporate approved feedback. • Participate in sprint planning, daily standups, code reviews, design reviews, technical exchanges, and user demonstrations. • Collaborate with database engineers, software developers, system engineers, Test and Evaluation engineers, cybersecurity personnel, infrastructure teams, and government stakeholders. • Independently own assigned features from requirements analysis through deployment and sustainment. • Communicate technical risks, dependencies, alternatives, and recommendations clearly to technical and nontechnical stakeholders. • Support Shipboard Link 16, Command and Control Processor Modernization, MIDS on Ship, Link 22, and other Tactical Data Link
