Assignment test rewrite

XMLWordPrintable

      The assignment tests are full of needless bloat.

      It appears that all assignment tests extend base, which has a ridonculous setUp which is not used in a great number of the tests. It's also creating a course, 7 users, and 6 groups, and requiring resetAfterTest() on each test. None of the above are cheap.

      The time taken for my machine to run the full suite is ~ 15 minutes; and 2 minutes of that is just on mod_assign.

      With the amount of setUp here, I suspect that we can probably halve time used for mod_assign.
      I also suspect that many of them aren't actual unit tests, but behavioural.

      OK (145 tests, 811 assertions)
      

      That's approx 1 second per test. Many of those tests simply do not need that setup.
