[Ideas] Improve Training Test module

September 25, 2012, 4:30 am

After having some of the tests provided in the Adacamy, I have come across to several items that can be improved. The ones I can think of on this moment are;

  • The loading time when you Start the test is quite long.
  • The timer starts running as soon as you hit Start, though the test itself is still loading.
  • The overview on the end can be made more usefull by allowing to click and change answers there.
  • After finishing, have an option available to review the total test with chosen answers. If you had a question was answered wrong and the right answere was 'All of the above' I would want to know what the options where. Now you can't see that.
  • Review the 'wrong' answers. Some are not logical or even funny when you take the test. That can be distractive when you are focused.
  • Work more with images. Sometimes you know how something apears in the application, but at that moment can't remember what it's name is. This especially happens when you take a test about a YouTube movie and are not able to view the content in the application.
  • Why is there a timer?  The only logical reason to me have a timer is to prevent the use of  external resources. Since that is allowed, the actual reason for the timer for me is a mystery. Making sure the participant takes the test in one go can be achieved in other and maybe even more usable ways.

Thank you for reading. I hope there will be other feedback on the tests aswell to improve it further.

[Ideas] Allow copy/cut + paste of Exceptions

Since we can't have public Exceptions, would be good to be able to copy/cut + paste Exceptions from one eSpace to another. Even with public Exceptions, this would still be helpful.

Would be nice if "Find Usages In All Espaces" didn't check references when it opened other espaces, really slows the workflow down... maybe do it in the background after opening the eSpace? Or on the first publish attempt?

[Ideas] Partners need a way to embargo code in client's environment

Situation: customer gets an environment from OutSystems. Hires partner to develop code. Customer does not pay partner. Partner needs to be able to say "no pay, no code". Right now, the customer holds all of the cards, making it very difficult to get paid other than going to court.

[Ideas] Prevent Architecture Pitfalls directly from ServiceStudio

I like the Discovery app for analysing existing applications, but why not add Discovery like checks to ServiceStudio to prevent Architecture pitfalls directly from ServiceStudio. TrueChange².

Add Layer type to eSpace properties, so ServiceStudio can check:
  • References to sibling modules in composite or orchestration layer
  • References to a higher layer
  • Cyclic references between eSpaces (preferably also indirect references)
Kind regards,

[Ideas] Multi-view entity diagram screen tabs

Add the feature to display and save multiple entity diagram screens.
 
When the user clicks on the "Entity" diagram icon, the user should be able to create and save a new entity diagram screen. The new entity diagram screen will be saved under a new tab, from here the user can navigate and view selected entity diagram screens by clicking on the entity diagram tabs.

[Ideas] Built-in Unit testing capabilities

Service Studio should have new, separate "Tests" tab.

This would enable integrating tests to any eSpace and would minimize required overhead for testing any action, including private actions.

Why?

  1. Testing your code is more professional than not testing.
  2. Unit testing should be minimal extra effort for developer, because otherwise tests are usually not done.
  3. Publishing new code could be controlled - you cannot publish untested code, or code which has some failing tests, for example.
  4. Test code should never go to Production environment.
  5. Testing is good.

How?

  1. Tests are integrated to eSpace/module oml file.
  2. During code generation process, actions from "Tests" tab would create a separate .NET project and this project would be a friend assembly (internalsVisibleTo attributes configured) for main project to compile.
  3. 1-Click Publish deployments with tests could start from (currently underused?) personal area (or another IIS folder), where tests would be run.
  4. Depending on how tests go and how is decided in additional configuration, deployment would continue to Public area or show an error in Service studio.

This way, creating unit tests would be as effortless as when creating unit tests in any other modern programming language - just few clicks away. There could be also accelerators to generate unit test actions or "system events" to initialize/teardown test runs.

Currently, writing any tests to private actions is also either impossible or exposing some unwanted/test related code to production environments.

It's a big change, but from discussions with makers/experts @ ODC I've learned this should not be too far-fetched idea to implement. Maybe for P12, please?

Another, possibly the simplest way to enable testing / production code separation without massive modifications to existing compiling process could be a capability to define another espace as "friend" espace. This per-espace setting could reveal internal (=OS private) actions to the another espace marked as a friend and thus enable referencing these otherwise out-of-the scope actions for testing purposes. 

If done like this, feature could be achieved using small amounts of .NET reflection trickery or previously suggested InternalsVisibleTo attribute (that has been around since 2002 release of .NET 2.0). 

Security-wise, there should be no problems either, (albeit a bit more work during compilation) as friend assemblies can be defined as signed assemblies, too.

Personal opinion, but this topic is really heavily connected with OS small book #2, #5 and #7.

It would be nice if there is a easy way to compare different versions of one eSpace.

And get a list of changes made between versions.

[Ideas] Automatically add the prefix "Timer" in actions

Since It's a best practice to prefix actions invoked by Timers with “Timer_”, then the server action created by this option:

In Service Center should be possible to disable the protection of OutSystems applications against brute force attacks:

See Documentation about it.


It's possible to disable for the applications (via Users eSpace) however is not possible to disable it for ServiceCenter users.

I would be great if the Integration Studio would sort the Data Type's in the drop down listing box in the entity editor.


Seems there is no sorting performed on this at all.

[Ideas] Create a "Consume Read Only" mode of adding entity dependencies

Currently it is possible to define the Expose Read Only of a public entity allowing a global definition of the external usage.

It would be good to also have that definition when consuming, so that, even if an entity is publicly writable, one can consume it without manipulating the data in some eSpaces and be able to manipulate it in others.

In sum, it would be possible to consume all actions associated to the entity or just the Get action.
