The Ruby Rogues is a popular podcast on programming in the Ruby world. They invited me back to discuss theRuby editionofRefactoring. We talked about the definition of refactoring, why we find we don't use debuggers much, what might be done to modernize the book, the role of refactoring ...
When the process is performed after deployment, it is normally done before developers move on to the next project. An organization may be able to refactor more code at this point in thesoftware delivery lifecycle, where the developers have increased availability and more time to work on the sou...
Refactoring can and should be folded in to how you write and maintain code – a part of the everyday discipline of development, like writing tests and reviewing code. It should be done quietly, continuously and implicitly. It becomes part of the cost of doing work, folded in to estimates ...
Rerun the tests and notice that everything has gone green. You are now at the green part of the red-green-refactor dance. Look at the code. It looks like there’s nothing to refactor here—that is, there’s no room for improvement—so you are done (seeFigure 3). Figur...
composed by applying many more finely grained refactoring operations to accomplish a larger grained restructuring objective. The order in which a refactoring operation is performed is crucial to assuring its proper application. Some refactoring operations must be done prior to others to establish the app...
Or, some team members have a “get-the-work-done-no-matter-what” mindset and lack quality-orientation. Such team members tend to discourage any attempts at refactoring. There are many such mental blocks one needs to be aware of when proposing refactoring tasks in a project. 8.2.2 Getting...
The termArchitecture Refactoringstarted to be used in the last years, bringing some confusion about its meaning and its difference withcode refactoring. Someone could say that there is no difference, cause whenrefactoring the architectureis always a refactoring done at the level of the code. So le...
Compose Method is a fundamental refactoring pattern that should be in everyone's toolbox. Longer code is more difficult to understand and implement. The composing method helps to reduce duplications and streamline a code. This can be done in several ways, including through extraction and inline te...
In addition, new tests may have to be created for outdated legacy software systems. Both in-depth and regression testing should be performed as part of a refactoring effort. This will ensure that the functionality of the solution was not affected in any way.Development teams using the Agile ...
Reconfiguring applications can be done to improve performance, achieve better resource utilization, and address limited computing resources. Agile new architectures (e.g., DRAs) allow organizations to exploit services to solve resource and environmental issues (e.g., processor, memory, current user ...
