CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2015 E1621: Refactor and test the quizzing feature

Introduction to Expertiza

Expertiza<ref>https://github.com/expertiza/expertiza</ref> is a project developed using Ruby on Rails<ref>http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html</ref>. It provides features like peer review, team assignments and submission of projects. This can be achieved by submitting code base, URL of hosted code on remote server and Wiki submissions. It is an open source application and the code can be cloned from GitHub. This application provides an efficient way to manage assignments, grades and reviews. This makes the process easier and faster when the class strength is large.

Problem Statement

Classes involved

• questionnaires_controller.rb

our own files in /specs/ folder.

What it does

It does stuff

What is wrong with it

The valid_quiz method in questionnaires_controller needs to be refactored. This method should not check the questions one by one, instead, it should create the quiz_question objects and quiz_choice objects, then call “quiz_question.valid?” to check whether the question is valid.

What needs to be done

Student-generated quizzes is the feature that students use for writing quizzes for the Wikipedia contribution assignment. In this project, you need to do refactoring and create functional tests for this feature:

• Refactoring:
  • Refactor the valid_quiz method in questionnaires_controller. This method should not check the questions one by one, instead, it should create the quiz_question objects and quiz_choice objects, then call “quiz_question.valid?” to check whether the question is valid.
• Testing:
  • The instructor can set up an assignment which supports quizzing feature by
    • Checking the “has quiz” box
    • Setting the # of question for each set of quiz
    • Setting in which deadline can student reviewers take the quizzes
  • Student authors can create quizzes and edit them:
    • They can create quizzes on the “Your work” page
    • They can edit the quiz questions.
    • They can view the quiz questions.
    • If the quiz question has something missing, the system will flash an error message, either:
      • The name of quiz is missing.
      • The question text is missing for one or more questions.
      • The choices are missing for one or more questions.
      • The correct answer(s) have not been provided.
  • Student reviewers can take the quizzes on the work they have reviewed/they need to review
    • They need to request the artifact to review first. If this artifact has a quiz associated, they can take the quiz in the round which quiz-taking is allowed.
    • They can click “take quiz” then request quizzes to take.
    • They can fill in their choices on the quizzes.
    • After taking the quizzes, and submitting, they will see their grade on the “Take quizzes” page
    • On the “take quizzes” page, they can see their question-by-question scores for finished quizzes by clicking “view”

Instructor can view the quiz questions and quiz scores on the tree display by clicking “view quiz questions” icon.
