Migration path for question types to ASQ

1 Initial Problem

With the Introducing Assessment Question Service a new and independent service for the component Test & Assessment should be implemented. To make existing questions usable with the new service a migration path for every single question type must be created.

2 Conceptual Summary

We want to introduce a migration path (“migrate to asq”), so that questions created and used in the Test & Assessment can be migrated to the new Assessment Question Service. There need to be code for every single question type to make the migration possible. After this, question pools can be migrated to a new Test Question Pool as Independent Object, that uses ASQ.
 
After migration the “old” versions of pools are still usable in all existing components of T&A, the “new” versions with the components like ASQ, question pools, test players.
 
The challenging parts in this development are:

• Creating a possibility to migrate further information around questions (like content and context surrounding questions, e.g. taxonomies, page editor information, competences)
• All questions and their contents need to work with ASQ
• Quality assurance & testing (internal QS: we will ask for existing db-dumps to test; external QS: we need testers from the community)

At first the migration can be triggered manually to create a ASQ question pool from existing question pools, so that users can migrate at their own pace. At the time, when legacy T&A will be dropped, existing question pools will be automatically migrated (to avoid loss of pools).

3 User Interface Modifications

Migration process needs to be placed in the T&A question pools, after creating migration paths for all question types, see also:
