Back-end

Anything's backend programming language is c#.

You can use Vistual Studio, Vistual Studio Code, Github Codespace, JetBrains Rider for development.

The project uses StyleCop, and the code needs to pass Roslyn code style analysis.

The project uses NUnit and all modules need to cover unit tests.
