Background

Current Implementation and Problems

  1. Method response_report has some sql - like code. Rewrite with Active Record.
  2. Test whether method add_user_to_assignment is used. There is no way that this method should be in ReviewMappingController.--plz remove this method and caller.
  3. There was a self-review feature, the method add_self_reviewr, get_team_from_submission are related to this. Two views calls add_self_reviewer are ç. The names of views are not related to self_review feature. Plus those two views are not called anywhere.
  4. Method delete_all_reviewers actually only deletes the outstanding review response maps (the ones which has been initiated, but there is no response yet). So it should better be named delete_outstanding_reviewers. You can try to test this method by clicking “Assign reviewers” icon on an assignment.
  5. Method release_reservation should be renamed as release_mapping. In addition, delete it if you find this method is not called anywhere.
  6. Method delete_mappings is problematic. It does not looks like a controller method. Please refactor it or delete it if you can validate that this method is not called anywhere.
  7. Method automatic_review_mapping_strategy is too long. Please refactor and test it.

Changes Implemented

  1. change the rails query from sql like code, like ReviewResponseMap.where(['reviewee_id = ? and reviewer_id = ? ', params[:contributor_id], reviewer.id]) to more rails quey like ReviewResponseMap.where(reviewee_id: params[:contributor_id],reviewer_id: reviewer.id)
  2. We search the function name(add_user_to_assignment) in the whole file, and find that this method is invoked in participants_helper.rb, and also being invoked in the function of add_reviewer and add_metareviewer in the controller of review_mapping_controller
  3. By searching the whole project and routes, we verify that methods add_self_reviewr and get_team_from_submission in this controller are not called by any other methods except for views add_self_reviewr, get_team_from_submission. And those two views are not linked to any other views. So they are deleted from the project.
  4. We already renamed method delete_all_reviewers to delete_outstanding_reviewers and changed the corresponding button name at the corresponding view (_list_review_mappings.html.erb).
  5. By searching the whole project and routes, we verify that methods release_reservation in this controller are not used in anywhere.
  6. By searching the whole project and routes, we verify that methods delete_mappings in this controller are not used in anywhere.
  7. This function have many long lines. We already shorten each long line to multiple lines. And also, we split this long function into three different functions.

Test

We write RSpec feature tests to prove that all changes are correct and the project performs well as before.

The function of method automatic_review_mapping is to automatically assign reviews on students in teams when instructor set either student review number or submissions review number. There is constraint that only one of the two numbers must be set value other than 0 (that is, one is 0 and other is not 0). To test the correctness of our refactoring, we design a scenario and 4 cases of assigning reviews to students:

Case 1. Instructor has not set both students review number and submissions review number (They are both 0). The page will show a notice.

Case 2. Instructor set both numbers (They are both not 0). The page will show a notice.

Case 3. Instructors set students review number. The controller will change database: create new relationship in ReviewResponseMap. For example, if assign student review number to 2, and there will be 20 peer reviews in total and need to allocate to 3 teams. So each team get 7 reviews on average and 1 team’s artifact will be reviewed 6 times.

Case 4. Instructors set submissions review number. The controller will change database: create new relationship in ReviewResponseMap. For example, if assign submission review number to 3, and there will be 21 peer reviews in total to allocate to 10 participants. So every participants get 2 reviews. 9 among 10 participants will review 2 teams’ artifacts and 1 participant will review 3 teams’ artifacts.
