Project Description

What it does:

Used on the admin side of Expertiza for creating/ editing questionnaires (rubrics, surveys and quizzes). It helps in add/removing questions, options, etc for a questionnaire.

Very big controller that handles a lot more than the name suggests. Functionalities need to be moved to appropriate controllers.

Quiz methods are should be treated the same as any other type of questionnaire; differences between quiz questionnaires and other questionnaires should be implemented in the model class, quiz_questionnaire

Turn the questionnaire into a “form object.” The ..._questions methods: save_new_questions, delete_questions, save_questions should be in a separate class.

Other classes involved:

questionnaire.rb

quiz_questionnaire.rb

questions_controller.rb

What needs to be done:

Move quiz related functions to quiz_questionnaire.rb.

copy, update_quiz, valid_quiz methods, clone_questionnaire_details is too long.

Debug output (print statements) should be removed.

Understand the functions in the controller and comment them. Ensure that the code is understandable to the next programmer who works on it.

What We Have Done

Method Name	Changes Made	Reason For Change
Copy	Extract the content of this method as copy_questionnaires method and put it in questionnaire.rb	The content of this method is about operations on the database (coping a questionnaire), it is better to put it in the model.
edit	Deleted the old edit method	The old edit method was not getting called due to ruby rules
new_feedback	Deleted the old new_feedback method	The old new_feedback method was not getting called due to ruby rules
view	Deleted the old view method	The old view method was not getting called due to ruby rules
redirect_when_disallowed	Moved all of the code from redirect_when_disallowed to action_allowed and changed all of the references	Authorization to perform actions wasn't being performed correctly, it is supposed to be done through action_allowed?
action_allowed?
