CSC/ECE 517 Spring 2019 - Project E1921. Write tests for popup controller.rb

The goal of this project was to add testing for the PopupController to raise statement coverage above 90%. See the Test Outline section for specifics of our work.

Project Introduction

The PopupController is responsible for preparing data that will be displayed in popup views. To render the data, which mostly concerns assignments, the controller makes many accesses to database tables such as Response, ResponseMap, Question, Questionnaire, Answer, and Participant. Before our project, there were only two tests implemented that together only achieved a statement coverage of 7%. Our changes have brought the statement coverage to 96%.

Files Involved

popup_controller.rb

popup_controller_spec.rb

Running Tests

What we need to do is to set up the environment and complete the 'popup_controller_spec.rb' to finish the integration tests for popup controller. This rspec test file can be run by calling the following code:

  rspec spec/controllers/popup_controller_spec.rb

Test Outline

The following sections show the Rspec outline of the tests we created.
