CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2016/E1668.Test e-mailing functionality

E1668 -Test e-mailling functionality

Background

There are various ways to use e-mail functionality in the Expertiza. To name a few examples: users should get welcome emails once they register successfully, they should get reminder emails if they missed deadline of submission of their works, they should receive notification emails when other users review their homework, or others finish reviewing one of their reviews. All of these above are functions belongs to emailing. However, currently there is no test for these functions in the Expertise, which should be added to ensure valid usage of e-mailling features.

Project Requirements

(1) Feature tests should be written with the use of RSpec for the e-mailing functionality.

(2) All test examples should be written with the use of fixtures, such as assignment record or participant record.

(3) Capybara should be used when interacting with the Expertise and writing these feature tests.

(4) All possible valid or invalid cases for email functionality should be included in the tests.
