Expertiza Background

Expertiza is a web application where students can submit and peer-review learning objects (articles, codes, websites, etc). Instructors add and edit assignments to Expertiza. Students can be assigned in teams based on their selection of the topics. The Expertiza project is supported by the National Science Foundation. The Expertiza project is software to create reusable learning objects through peer review. It also supports team projects, and the submission of almost any document type, including URLs and wiki pages.


Problem Statement

This project uses assignment.rb. This is one of the most complex files in Expertiza. It contains a lot of methods that are long and hard to understand. These methods need to be broken down into simpler and more specific methods that are easier to read/understand. Also, the few instances of code duplication that exist should also be removed.

Files Involved

These two were the files we made our changes in :

1. app/models/assignment.rb

2. spec/models/assignment_spec.rb

Team Members

Team members who collaborated to work on this problem are :

1. Aayush Patial

2. Riken Shah

3. Sahil Dorwat


Plan Of Work

This is the course of solution we followed throughout our project:

Task 1

  • Complete the pending tests in assignment_spec.rb, and write unit tests for newly-created methods. Please finish one set of pending tests before refactoring the corresponding methods

Task 2

Refactor scores, self.export method.

  • Write failing tests first
  • Split into several simpler methods and assign reasonable names
  • Extract duplicated code into separate methods

Task 3

Rename method and change all other places it is used

  • Write failing tests first (not only for renamed method, but also for other methods calling renamed method)
  • has_topics? → topics?
  • has_teams? → teams?
  • is_microtask? → microtask?

Task 4

Use find_by instead of dynamic method

  • Write failing tests first
  • search in lines L136, L300, L315, L542, L610

About Refactoring and why are we using it.

Code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing computer code—changing the factoring—without changing its external behavior.

Refactoring improves nonfunctional attributes of the software. Advantages include improved code readability and reduced complexity; these can improve source-code maintainability and create a more expressive internal architecture or object model to improve extensibility. Typically, refactoring applies a series of standardised basic micro-refactorings, each of which is (usually) a tiny change in a computer program's source code that either preserves the behaviour of the software, or at least does not modify its conformance to functional requirements. Many development environments provide automated support for performing the mechanical aspects of these basic refactorings. If done extremely well, code refactoring may also resolve hidden, dormant, or undiscovered bugs or vulnerabilities in the system by simplifying the underlying logic and eliminating unnecessary levels of complexity. If done poorly it may fail the requirement that external functionality not be changed, introduce new bugs, or both.

Clean code means three things for your program: quality, clarity and maintainability. Clean code is code whose intention and behavior is immediately apparent to other developers. That means that it can be maintained by any number of people and will survive into the future. . Clean code survives into the future because it accommodates change and growth. Above all, though, clean code is a pleasure to write and a pleasure to work with. Refactoring is a controllable process of improving code without creating new functionality. It transforms a mess into clean code and simple design.

Clean code is code that is easy to read, understand and maintain. Clean code makes software development predictable and increases the quality of a resulting product

About Test Driven-Development and why we are using it.

Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: Requirements are turned into very specific test cases, then the software is improved to pass the new tests, only. This is opposed to software development that allows software to be added that is not proven to meet requirements. Advantages of using TDD:

  • Narrowing Problem Focus
  • Tidier Code
  • Not worrying about dependencies
  • Easier refactoring
  • Better Test coverage and fewer bugs

Test Cases

Task 1

Model controller file, assignment_spec.rb in spec folder was completed with tests written for all the methods in the assignment.rb file. These are tests are failed before the development as a part of our Test First Development approach to the problem. There were 55 tests to be written from scratch. All the pending tests were completed as a part of our first plan of action.

To see these test cases work after cloning the repository please see the video to get better idea of what we've done. You can simply run command "rspec assignment_spec.rb" command on linux terminal to get the output.

Task 2

For the second part of our plan of action we had to refactor the scores and self.export method and remove the duplicate code throughout, which were extremely tricky. As these changes also had to be incorporated in the assignment_spec.rb file for updating the tests withe same. For doing this we broke the method into two parts and then passed the required parameters through them. Code for this as follows in assignment.rb file, these changes can be seen between L561 to L567 

 return csv if @scores[:teams].nil?
   export_not_nil(csv,@scores,parent_id,options)
 end

 def self.export_not_nil (csv, scores,parent_id, options)
   @scores=scores
   (0..@scores[:teams].length - 1).each do |index|

Task 3

For the third task in our plan of action we had to change the method names throughout the code. These were namely has_topics? to topics? , has_teams? to teams? and is_microtask? to micro task?. These changes meant that the test for the same methods needed to be altered too.

Task 4

Our fourth part of the plan of action called for change in assignment.rb file. In this we needed to replace multiple dynamic methods with find_by while keeping the functionality of the method same and that means the altered code needed to run the already written tests without any error. These changes can be seen in L142, L306, L321, L548 and L621 in the updated files. In addition we had to write new test for the find_due_dates method which was not defined in spec model.

L142 in this method 

def metareview_mappings
   mappings = []
   self.review_mappings.each do |map|
     m_map = MetareviewResponseMap.find_by(reviewed_object_id: map.id)
     mappings << m_map unless m_map.nil?
   end
   mappings
 end

L306 

 def add_participant(user_name, can_submit, can_review, can_take_quiz)
   user = User.find_by(name: user_name)
   raise "The user account with the name #{user_name} does not exist. Please <a href='" +
     url_for(controller: 'users', action: 'new') + "'>create</a> the user first." if user.nil?
   participant = AssignmentParticipant.find_by(parent_id: self.id, user_id:  user.id)

L321 

def create_node
   parent = CourseNode.find_by(node_object_id: self.course_id)
   node = AssignmentNode.create(node_object_id: self.id)
   node.parent_id = parent.id unless parent.nil?
   node.save
 end

L548 

questionnaires.each do |questionnaire|
     if @assignment.varying_rubrics_by_round?
       round = AssignmentQuestionnaire.find_by(assignment_id: @assignment.id, questionnaire_id: @questionnaire.id).used_in_round
       questionnaire_symbol = if round.nil?
                                questionnaire.symbol
                              else
                                (questionnaire.symbol.to_s + round.to_s).to_sym
                              end
     else
       questionnaire_symbol = questionnaire.symbol
     end

L621 

def find_due_dates(type)
   self.due_dates.select {|due_date| due_date.deadline_type_id == DeadlineType.find_by(name: type).id }
 end
