E1936 Specialized Rubrics

E1936. Specialized Rubrics for Different Topic Types

This page provides a description of an Expertiza OSS project.

Problem Statement

In CSC/ECE 517, there are several types of topics that could be covered in a single class assignment.

• Code base
  • Expertiza
  • Mozilla
  • etc.
• Goal
  • Refactoring
  • Testing
  • etc.

However, currently we can only specify one kind of rubric for an assignment. This means that teams working on different topics will be evaluated using the same rubric.

Problems and Solutions

The problems listed below are examples of the four main classes of problems we encountered with Expertiza authorization. This is not an exhaustive list of problems, but is a good representation of the classes of problems addressed.

Automated Testing with RSPEC

Our strategy for gaining confidence that our code changes did not break anything was as follows:

• Run all existing RSpec tests on any changed files, after our changes, to ensure that we have not introduced any failures.
• The commands and results are shown below.

  (TODO)

• Write new comprehensive RSpec tests, for all new methods.
• Run these tests, to ensure that the new code works as intended.
• The commands and results are shown below.

  (TODO)

• The test suite for a single new method is below.
• There are many such suites in (TODO add filename(s)).
• This example illustrates our general strategy:
  • test missing input
  • test bad input
  • test various acceptable forms of input
  • test scenarios that lead to "true" and to "false" return values
