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.

Tests

(1) Testing email address can be edited successfully in the profile tab. Users can update their email addresses anytime by clicking the profile button in the header after they log in. They can fill in the new address in the "E-maill address" tab. We test if new address can be filled in successfully by using Capybara:

   describe 'email address' do
     it 'should edit email address' do
       fill_in 'E-mail address', with: 'ychen75@ncsu.edu'
       expect(find_field('E-mail address').value).to eq 'ychen75@ncsu.edu'
     end
   end

(2) Testing email option can be checked successfully in the profile tab. There are three attributes related to email functionality when we define a user: email_on_review, email_on_submission, email_on_review_of_review. These boolean values can be reset in the profile page under E-mail options checkbox. We first test that if these checkbox can be checked/unchecked successfully with the 'When someone else reviews my work' checkbox by using Capybara:

   context 'When someone else reviews my work' do
       it "should check 'When someone else reviews my work' option" do
         find(:css, "#user_email_on_review").set(true)
          review_box = find('#user_email_on_review')
         expect(review_box).to be_checked
       end
    end  

Then, test that if these checkbox can be checked/unchecked successfully with the 'When someone else reviews my work' checkbox:

 context 'When someone else reviews my work' do
       it "should check 'When someone else reviews my work' option" do
         find(:css, "#user_email_on_review").set(true)
         review_box = find('#user_email_on_review')
         expect(review_box).to be_checked
       end

     it "should uncheck 'When someone else reviews my work' option" do
         find(:css, "#user_email_on_review").set(false)  
         review_box = find('#user_email_on_review')
         expect(review_box).not_to be_checked
       end
     end

test that if these checkbox can be checked/unchecked successfully with the 'When someone else submits work I am assigned to review' checkbox

   context 'When someone else submits work I am assigned to review' do
       it "should check 'When someone else submits work I am assigned to review' option" do
         find(:css, "#user_email_on_submission").set(true)
         review_box = find('#user_email_on_submission')
         expect(review_box).to be_checked
       end
 
       it "should uncheck 'When someone else submits work I am assigned to review' option" do
         find(:css, "#user_email_on_submission").set(false)
         review_box = find('#user_email_on_submission')
         expect(review_box).not_to be_checked
       end
   end

(3) Testing email can be sent to users successfully if they reset their password. Users can reset their password if they forget about their previous ones. They can get a new password by email sent by the Expertiza system. We first test

(4) Testing email can be sent to users successfully if they register successfully.

(5) Testing email can be sent to users successfully if their suggest topics for assignment have been approved successfully.

(5) Testing email can be sent to the users successfully when someone else reviews review their work.

(6) Testing email can be sent to the users successfully when someone else submits work they are assigned to review

(7) Testing email can be sent to the users successfully when someone else reviews one of the reviews
