In the earlier post, Removing Unnecessary Dependencies , we saw how having an unnecessary dependency hinders testability. In this post we will see just the opposite of that - extracting functionality out of a class and creating another class to separate…
In the earlier post, Removing Unnecessary Dependencies , we saw how having an unnecessary dependency hinders testability. In this post we will see how the test code changed by the refactoring we did for removing the unnecessary dependency and explore ways to…
Nowadays I am trying to stick to TDD (with the test first approach) and have found it to be of great help. One of the biggest reward doing TDD is that it helps me to stay in the flow and regain speed faster after a distraction. This post explains how to…
Introduce Foreign Method( IFM ) and Introduce Local Extension( ILE ) are two refactoring techniques that comes handy when you need to add functionality to an exisiting class,source code of which is beyond your control. IFM is used when its just one or two…
