The accreditaion tests consist of two parts - theory and practical. Latter involing tasks that the user has to actually do on test system.

Theory part involves multiple choice questions. Test consists of questions from 3-4 categories about 5 questions in each (15 to 20 questions in total)

At the moment, the project uses the 5.2.1 version of the rails, I suppose that the best solution would be to update to the latest current version.

With addition on accreditation center we will start requiring re-accreditation test from all registrars every 2 years. As registrar and user management is done in registry admin it needs to keep track of the accreditation test expiration. So if test is passed (initial or renewal) the data in regsitry will need to be updated (RestEPP API?)

System needs to notify accredited users that the time for retesting is closing - multiple notification emails ie 14 days and 7 days before test expiration and on the day accreditation expires.

For this to work an extra email address field needs to be added to the epp user profile in the registry admin.

Also registries registrar coordinator needs to be notified (send message to 'Registry billing email') when the last accredited user of a registrar has reached the accreditation expiration date.

As discussed lets refactor the accreditation status update to production registry so that production registry requests the updates directly from the test registry

two option

• admin presses a button to request an update for a specific user/regsitrar/all regsitrars
• scheduled background job that can be set to run regularly and that requests accreditation statuses for all/any users

Practical part of the tests involve solving tasks in registry test environment. There is not question pool here. The tasks are the same in every test the varying part is the object name (ie register a domain name wannabecomearegistrar123.ee where the domain name is generated unique variable value)

Users reads the question in the accreditation center, completes the task in registry test environment. When done presses done button for example in the accreditation test and system verifies if the task was indeed solved successfully (objects are created, the epp queries used included all the necessary elements - on such example being if verified element was correctly used), gives feedback and user can proceed to next task.

For better interactivity, in my opinion, it should connect Stimulus Reflex

• deleting quiz results ended with internal error - same result with single quizz result deletion and multiple at once
  

• show in app button takes admin to the fresh quizz (no answers) does not seem helpful, could this be made to point to finished test with user given answers for review
  

• when i have a test passed i cannot take another one - when can a user take a retest after passing one?
  

• each answer can be assigned to only one question at a time - is it possible to loose the separate answers section from the ui
  

• what is the point of answerquestions section - it shows answer question groups but it also have quiz pointer indicating like each question should be assigned to a quiz template - but the value of this is hard to grasp. Maybe hide this option as well if possible
  

translation issues:

• mixed language in ui (no language selection) - this one is not in admin!
  

• answers have en and et language options while questions do not
  

For testing on this project, it is better to use a more flexible and modern library RSpec

The test results are saved and accessible for user in the accreditation center for 30 days. User can see the questions, given answers, what would have been the correct answer in case of incorrect choice was made and whether the test was passed or failed. Detailed results are accessible only to the user that made the test and registry admins

After 30 days the details are deleted and only final results (passed/failed together with time and date) are kept.

Test results of previous tests are inaccessible while user has activated a test.

The other users of a registrar can also see the results of other users' tests without the details (only final result - passed/failed and date and time).

Test results are also sent to registry - in case of passed test user is marked as accredited and 2 year validity period starts.

Main function fpr Accreditaion center's management interface is managing tests - adding new questions and excercises to the pool with answer variants plus editing and deletiong existing ones.

Questions must have grouping options so that in generating tests system would be able to choose 5 questions about domain registrations, 3 questions about liabilities of the registrant etc.

The management interface could also be a plugin or extension to registry admin

Registrar and user creation takes place in registry admin. So accreditation portal should authenticate against or get the user information from the registry (Rest EPP API?)

Also on every authentication (login) the user's accreditation info should be passed to accreditation center so the user would have access to info about accreditation status and expiry date. Also the status of other users of the same registry should be passed along - every user has an overview on who is accredited in their registrar and when does the accreditation expire.
