Farah

Status

• Made some final changes to the grade entry form models based on feedback from my grade entry form creation review request and modified the unit tests accordingly. (see review 217)
• Finished the functional tests and submitted a review request. I spent a lot more time on this than I had originally planned to but I wanted to make sure the tests were quite thorough. (see review 245)
• Worked on the table view (60% complete)

Next steps

• Finish the table view and test it. I had wanted to do the “attaching graders” view as well but I don’t think there’s enough time remaining (maybe “simple” grade entry isn’t the best name for this feature )
• Documentation for the Wiki
• Screencast

Roadblocks

• None this week

Severin

Status

• Had a meeting with Karen regarding automated testing on Monday

Next Steps

• Fix reviews for which I got feedback for
• Continue writings/analysis regarding automated testing
• Talk with Mike and Karen about must-fix things for the spring courses round.

Roadblocks

Gabriel

Status

• Fought with cucumber to make it behave around MarkUs… Not much success up to now
• Published my post-mortem on the UCOSP blog

Next Steps

• Close the cucumber chapter
• Write Selenium tests for the feature I implemented (Flexible criteria edition)
• Document the Flexible criteria features state (wiki)
• Introduce MarkUs to our colleagues (and share our experience) during our next QA class

Roadblocks

• Time (because of work and a certain course notoriously known –around here– as Design 3)

Melanie

• Created 2 screencasts to explain the flexible criterion implemented features. Will publish theme soon
• Created a PowerPoint for our QA course that presents Cross-Canada, Markus and our implication

Next Steps

• Finish Ticket #457
• Write some Selenium tests
• Document the Flexible criteria features state with my teammates
• Introduce MarkUs to our colleagues (and share our experience) during our next QA class

Roadblocks

• None

Simon

Status

• Wrote a guide how to run Selenium tests on the wiki and blog
• Wrote Selenium tests for the Assignment properties’ view
• Created a migration making Rubric the default value for the marking scheme type — Ticket #441

Next Steps

• Create tickets for what is left to do on the Flexible criteria feature
• Document the Flexible criteria features state (wiki)
• Introduce MarkUs to our colleagues (and share our experience) during our next QA class

Roadblocks

• Time, I am working on an intense project finishing on December 3rd

Tara

Status

• Finally committed code for tickets #358 and #405 (adding multiple students to a grouping as an instructor)
• Finished the index view for the Notes tab (for groupings)
• Created “new” and “edit” actions and views for the Notes tab (for groupings)
• Met with Fernando to finalize Notes system, including polymorphic assocations
• Changed notes to use polymorphic associations for the “noteable” object

Next steps

Commit Notes tab code

Extend Notes system create form for assignments and students

Investigate ticket #436 – Grace periods used are not reported anywhere in the UI

Investigate ticket #361 – Grader View: shoudn’t unmarked rubric be expanded by default?

Roadblocks
