Expertiza

Expertiza is a Ruby on Rails based open source project. Instructors have the ability to add new projects, assignments, etc., as well as edit existing ones. Later on, they can view student submissions and grade them. Students can also use Expertiza to organize into teams to work on different projects and assignments and submit their work. They can also review other students' submissions.

Introduction

In this project we refactored teams_controller.rb and some tests associated with it. Some duplicate code was removed. We added some comments for readability. And, we fixed tests to be more consistent with the program and execution.

Issues Fixed

1. Refactored code in teams_controller.rb
   • Added more comments and briefly explained the functionality of all methods
   • Found areas in the code where the DRY principle can be applied
   • Refactored the function bequeath_all to improve readability by including function copy_teams
   • Refactored function copy_teams that calls choose_copy_type, which calls bequeath_copy or inherit_copy based on bequeath
2. Refactored code in teams.rb
   • Added more comments to some methods in the code
3. Made changes to hi_IN.yml file, by adding more annotations and some grammatical errors
4. Added more coverage to test by modifying teams_controller_spec.rb
