Functional tests for assignment creation function

This page outlines the use tests for assignment creation using the Expertiza system

Structural Overview

Assignment creation in Expertiza provides a large number of options for users. Features come at the cost of complexity; this project is focused on creating testing methods to ensure that user interaction with the assignment interface remains stable and reliable.

Assignment creation is available from the Manage -> Assignments drop down on the expertiza site. Once an assignment is created it has 5 tabs for form entry. The remainder of this document will cover testing for each tab in more detail, the tabs are:

• General
• Topics
• Rubrics
• Review Strategy

General

In this section, the functional test includes assignment name, course, submission directory, description URL, "Has team?", "Has quiz?" and "Calibrated peer-review for training".

      click_button "Create"
      expect(Assignment.find(2).is_calibrated).to eq true
    end

Topics

In this section, functionality of "Edit topics" is thoroughly tested. Below are some of the code snippets of this testing module:

• Edit topics content

    it "is able to see edit topics content correctly" do
      login_as("instructor6")
      visit 'assignments/1/edit#tab-2'
      expect(page).to have_content("Allow topic suggestions from students?")
      expect(page).to have_content("Enable bidding for topics?")
      expect(page).to have_content("Enable authors to review others working on same topic?")
      expect(page).to have_content("Allow reviewer to choose which topic to review?")
      expect(page).to have_content("Allow participants to create bookmarks? ")
      expect(page).to have_content("Hide all teams")
      expect(page).to have_content("New topic")
      expect(page).to have_content("Import Topics")
      expect(page).to have_content("Back")
      expect(page).to have_content("Save")
    end

• Show/hide teams

  it "is able to show/hide teams" do
      login_as("instructor6")
      visit 'assignments/1/edit#tab-2'

      click_link('Hide all teams')

      expect(page).to have_content("Show all teams")

      click_link("Show all teams")
      expect(page).to have_content("Hide all teams")
    end

Rubrics

Rubrics are arranged into 3 rows of data named "Review", "Author Feedback", and "Teammate Review". Each row is handled under separate descriptions in order to allow quick and comprehensive testing for the seperate functions. Each row updates a subclass of the Questionnaire class. The Active Record hierarchy is:

• Questionnaire
  • ReviewQuestionnaire
  • AuthorFeedbackQuestionnaire
  • TeammateReviewQuestionaire

The Questionnaire class is connected to the Assignment class via the AssignmentQuestionnaire class.

Review Strategy

In this module we have tested the functionality of the "Teammate Review" module. Some of the tests are given below:

• Teammate Review

    it "should update questionnaire", js: true do
      login_as("instructor6")
      visit '/assignments/1/edit'
      find_link('Rubrics').click
      within("tr#questionnaire_table_TeammateReviewQuestionnaire") do
        select "TeammateReviewQuestionnaire2", :from => 'assignment_form[assignment_questionnaire][][questionnaire_id]'
      end
      click_button 'Save'
      expect(get_questionnaire("TeammateReviewQuestionnaire2")).to exist
    end

• Notification limit

    it "should update notification limit", js: true do
      login_as("instructor6")
      visit '/assignments/1/edit'
      find_link('Rubrics').click
      within("tr#questionnaire_table_TeammateReviewQuestionnaire") do
        select "TeammateReviewQuestionnaire2", :from => 'assignment_form[assignment_questionnaire][][questionnaire_id]'
        fill_in 'assignment_form[assignment_questionnaire][][notification_limit]', :with => '50'
      end
      click_button 'Save'
      expect(get_questionnaire("TeammateReviewQuestionnaire2").first).to have_attributes(:notification_limit => 50)
    end
