This project is related to make contributions to an open-source project named Expertiza. I refactored the existing bad smells following Ruby on Rails best practises, implemented new features related to user model and writing RSpec tests with two team members.

Description

• Find the un-called methods if any and delete them.
• Change the Rails 2 syntax to Rails 4 style.
• Refactor users_controller.rb
• Change the white space for the second half of this file, starts at “def edit”.
• Separate the paginate_list method into two methods. The search method should be in model and the paginating method should be in the controller.
• New feature: delete users
  • A user can be deleted if (s)he has not participated in an assignment.
  • If the user is participating in an assignment, the system will ask, “User is participating in k assignments. Delete as a participant in these assignment(s)?”
  • If the user has submitted or reviewed in any of these assignments, the system will say the user cannot be deleted, but offer to rename the user account to _hidden.
    • rename (javascript calling update method in users_controller.rb)
    • different users have different delete methods.
  • If the person trying to delete does not want to rename the account, the system will just say that the user can’t be deleted.
• Write Rspec unit test and increase the test coverage to 28%.
