CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2016 E1676 Role-based reviewing

Purpose

In the current version of Expertiza, members among a team can evaluate each other’s contribution and give appropriate scores based on the same questionnaire. However, in the lifetime of software development, members in a team often take on different roles whose works content are vastly differentiated. Like in an agile development environment, such as Scrum, there are typically seven roles group members can take: software engineer, architect, programmer, analyst, QA expert, tester and UI designers . Job description and evaluation entailed are vastly varied among these roles, thus a generic assessment rubric cannot hold reasonably.

The purpose or the rationale of our project is that we want to give project members the option to evaluate each other's work based on the specific role or duty they take in the development process. This can ensure a reasonable assessment for different duties and can also help to improve the utility using members-reviewing in the whole reviewing process.

Task Description

Task Description: There are generally three aspects we would accomplish in order to achieve the Role-based reviewing function.

1) A new option (check box) would be added to the Review Strategy tab from the instructor view when he creates a new assignment. What’s more, the instructor can create different roles or duties available for the assignment by typing into a test filed. The instructor also has the power the allow multiple members to choose for the same duty.
