Sample Students

You can generate helpful information on plans and sample students for testing those plans with the da-sample-students command.

For example,

da-sample-students --requirementTerm=1259 "uw.u.sci.(bac|cred).chem.CHEM" > out.csv

will generate the following output:

Sample Students Sample Students

Things to note:

  • uw.u.sci.bac.chem.CHEM specifies three different plans within the Chemistry plan group. Those three plans all begin with CHEM.
  • The > out.csv is redirecting the output into a file named out.csv.
  • Useful information about the plans is included:
    • Information useful for correlating Kuali with a plan code:
      • The plan code
      • The plan title/description
    • Information useful for setting priorities:
      • The total number of students in the plan within the time period selected.
      • The number of times a degree audit has been run on this plan.
    • Information useful for selecting test cases:
      • Ids for students in the plan.
      • The requirement term of the given student.
      • The most recent term of the given student.
      • The projected level of the student.

The number of students selected can be set with the --sampleSize command line argument.

Use da-sample-size --help for other arguments.
