CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2016/E1641. Refactor review mapping controller.rb
Background
Current Implementation and Problems
- Method names for dealing with the 5 different kinds of objects should be as similar as possible, and they should share helper functions when possible.
- Method response_report has some sql - like code. Rewrite with Active Record.
- Test whether method add_user_to_assignment is used. There is no way that this method should be in ReviewMappingController.--plz remove this method and caller.
- There was a self-review feature, the method add_self_reviewr, get_team_from_submission are related to this. Two views calls add_self_reviewer are ç. The names of views are not related to self_review feature. Plus those two views are not called anywhere.
- Method delete_all_reviewers actually only deletes the outstanding review response maps (the ones which has been initiated, but there is no response yet). So it should better be named delete_outstanding_reviewers. You can try to test this method by clicking “Assign reviewers” icon on an assignment.
- Method release_reservation should be renamed as release_mapping. In addition, delete it if you find this method is not called anywhere.
- Method delete_mappings is problematic. It does not looks like a controller method. Please refactor it or delete it if you can validate that this method is not called anywhere.
- Method automatic_review_mapping_strategy is too long. Please refactor and test it.
Changes Implemented
- By searching the whole project and routes, we verify that methods add_self_reviewr and get_team_from_submission in this controller are not called by any other methods except for views add_self_reviewr, get_team_from_submission. And those two views are not linked to any other views. So they are deleted from the project.
- By searching the whole project and routes, we verify that methods release_reservation in this controller are not used in anywhere.
- By searching the whole project and routes, we verify that methods delete_mappings in this controller are not used in anywhere.
