Expertiza is a web application where students can submit and peer-review learning objects (articles, code, web sites, etc). It is used in select courses at NC State and by professors at several other colleges and universities. <ref>Template:Expertiza GitHub Page</ref>

Introduction

Our contribution in this project is to write feature test for assignment submission by student. The test would mock steps taken by the student to manually submit the assignment.

Assumptions

To implement each scenario in the test, the following assumptions are taken:

1. The feature test will use the development environment. In particular, it will use the expertiza_development database.
2. A student entry is assumed to be present in the database. The credentials for this student is student13 as username and password as password.
3. An instructor entry is also assumed to be present in the database. Its credentials are username: instructor6 and password: password.
4. A simple assignment is created wherein there are no teams and topics.
5. It requires user to first run the ["assignment_creation.rb"], so that the student becomes eligible to submit his/her work.

Steps for manual submission

Before analyzing code, one must make themselves familiar with the steps involved in assignment submission on Expertiza. These steps are:

1. Login with valid username and password
2. Click on an assignment to submit
3. Click on "Your Work"
4. Paste the link or browse the file containing your work
5. Click on "Upload Link" or "Upload File" to submit deliverable

Creating the Tests

Feature test scenarios covered

Scenarios

1. scenario 'student with valid credentials'
2. scenario 'no assignment available to submit'
3. scenario 'submitting link for finished assignment'
4. scenario 'submitting file for finished assignment'
5. scenario 'submitting link to ongoing assignment'
6. scenario 'submitting file to ongoing assignment'

Running the tests

Steps

1. Git fork
2. bundle install
3. db:migrate
4. use command rspec spec/features/student_assignment_submission_spec.rb
