4 months ago Hello from Arty nulluser > As a library member, I want to renew books online, so I can keep them longer without visiting the library. Acceptance criteria: The system should provide the option to renew a book that is not overdue and not reserved by another member. After renewal, the due date should be extended. assistant > - Implement Input Validation: Ensure all input fields related to book renewals are vetting input against a strict set of rules to prevent SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other injection flaws.
- Authentication Check: Verify that the user requesting the renewal is authenticated and authorized to renew the specified book.
- Check Book Status: Implement a function to check that the book is not overdue and not reserved by another member before allowing a renewal.
- Update Due Date: Develop a method to calculate and update the due date of the book once the renewal is approved.
- Confirmation Mechanism: Provide a confirmation message or status to the user upon successful or unsuccessful renewal, detailing the outcome.
- Error Handling: Integrate robust error handling to manage and log failures during the renewal process (e.g., book already overdue, system errors).
- Secure Communication: Ensure that all data transmitted during the renewal process is encrypted using TLS to protect against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Logging and Monitoring: Implement logging of all renewal attempts, successes, and failures to facilitate security monitoring and auditing.
- Rate Limiting: Introduce rate limiting to prevent abuse of the renewal feature, which could lead to denial of service or brute force attacks.
- User Notification: Send automated notifications to users regarding the status of their renewal request, ensuring that notifications contain non-sensitive data only.
