Abandon Random Selection Button in ILIAS Tests

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

To reduce the complexity of the ILIAS test, we propose to remove the "Random Selection" button in the list view of the ILIAS test.

This button no longer makes sense conceptually. Either you create a test with a fixed set of questions or a test with random set of questions. A fixed set of questions that are randomly selected from question pools you have access to, is "nonsense".

2 Technical Information

{The maintainer has to provide necessary technical information, e.g. dependencies on other ILIAS components, necessary modifications in general services/architecture, potential security or performance issues.}
