| == Problem Statement ==
| |
|
| |
| '''Background'''
| |
|
| |
| response.rb is the default class to interact with the responses table, which stores all answers of each questionnaire.
| |
|
| |
| '''What’s wrong with it?'''
| |
|
| |
| response.rb is a fairly complex file. 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 be removed.
| |
|
| |
| '''Problems'''
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| ''Problem 1:Refactor display_as_html method''

| Extract duplicated code into separate methods
| |
|
| |
| ''Problem 2:Refactor self.get_volume_of_review_comments method''
| |
|

| |
|
| |
| get_total_score → total_score
| |
|
| |
| get_average_score → average_score
| |
|
| |
| get_maximum_score → maximum_score
| |
|
| |
| ''Problem 4:Use sort_by(&:seq) instead of sort { |a, b| a.seq <=> b.seq }''
| |
|
| |
| Write failing tests first
| |
|
| |
| ''Problem 5:Use find_by instead of where.first''
| |
|
| |
| Write failing tests first
| |
|
| |
| ''Problem 6:Complete the pending tests in grades_controller_spec.rb, and write integration tests for newly-created methods. Refactor corresponding methods, and only then finish pending tests.''

| == Issue and Solution ==
| |
|
| |
| Problem 1:
| |
|
| |
| The method display_as_html is complex. Many functions are embedded in to a single method.
| |
|
| |
| Solution:
| |
|
| |
| The method has been broken in to smaller and simpler parts and have been given the reasonable names

| |
| Problem 2:
| |
|
| |
| The method has repeated lines of code.
| |
|
| |
| Solution:
| |
|
| |
| The loop has been included in the method instead of writing the same lines of code.
