Question Service for Survey

1 Initial Problem

Survey Questions cannot be embedded in other objects. 

2 Conceptual Summary

Survey Question Service
In a first step, the new area of responsibility Survey Question Service will be created as a new development area. The codebase will be moved to this new room for later refactoring. For further steps, the violations of responsibility which are to be resolved are clearly recognizable.

• Creation of the new ILIAS service
• Moving all question related PHP classes into the service directory
• Modification of all includes to the moved classes

Decoupling 
If the access to data violates the planned responsibilities, these are cleared. Consumers should only know IDs of questions and answeroptions and assign them to results in their own responsibility. Questions and answers no longer require information from consumers.

• Porting into the question service
• Abstraction of a new object layer to represent submitted answers
• Refactoring the existing question classes by integrating the answer objects
• Abstraction of a new object layer to represent survey results

Question Interface
An API is devised allowing consumers to embed the question.
