Used The Quickstart API to ensure that we can connect to Google Classroom on my own project, next step would be to use the project credentials to check if it works the same!

So far me and Darian have designed the front end for the Grades integration, and have added a new grades schema to ensure that grades can be updated, the grades submission works using the classroom, student and submission.

Testing and Implementation Summary:

• Initial API Connection Testing: We began by testing the Quickstart API's ability to connect Code-Sparks with Google Classroom. This involved verifying the API's stability, the security of the connection, and the accuracy of data transfer between the two platforms.
• Grades Uploading Functionality Testing: We developed and tested the feature that allows teachers to upload grades to Google Classroom from Code-Sparks. This included several rounds of functional testing to ensure that grades were correctly assigned to the corresponding assignments in Google Classroom and that the process was intuitive for the user.
• Grade Update and Synchronization Testing: A crucial part of our testing was to ensure that changes to grades made in Code-Sparks were accurately reflected in Google Classroom. We conducted synchronization tests, including scenarios where grades were updated multiple times or in quick succession, to ensure consistency and reliability in data reflection across both platforms.
• Visibility and Data Retrieval Testing: We tested the functionality that enabled teachers to view Google Classroom grades within Code-Sparks. This required pulling data from Google Classroom and displaying it accurately within the Code-Sparks interface. Our tests focused on the accuracy and timeliness of the data retrieval and its presentation to the users.
• End-to-End Integration Testing: Finally, we conducted comprehensive end-to-end testing, which involved using the system as a whole to ensure that all the newly developed features worked harmoniously together.
