AN EXERCISE IN CLEANER CODE - FROM LEGACY TO MAINTAINABLEGavin Pickin
We’ve all had those projects, the salvage project, the legacy project that we picked up, and wished we never had.
Was it written 5 years ago by that young dev with lots of passion but no big picture vision.
Was it written 6 months ago by another team, by a top gun developer who knows all the design patterns, and tried to future proof the app, only succeeding in making it impossible for anyone else to understand.
Or was it you, 2 years ago, before you joined the community and learned more about best (better) practices and you almost cannot comprehend how you used to code.
Long story short, we have all been there, but the past is history, how do we proceed from here, that’s the key. We’ll look at some of the ways you can clean up your code, and walk through some examples, and walk the journey to software craftsmanship
5 main points
What is clean code
Reading vs Writing Code
Don’t suffocate your code, let it breathe
Simple & Self Documenting Code
Lower the Cognitive Load

How do I write Testable Javascript - Presented at dev.Objective() June 16, 2016Gavin Pickin
Everyone who wasn't writing JavaScript, probably is now. Atwood's Law: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.
That's great, but how do we test it? In ColdFusion we have CFCs, most languages have classes... but JavaScript doesn't have classes (yet).
So how do I write unit tests, what units are there, and how do I make my code look like that? JavaScript is a flexible language, and with great flexibility comes great complexity and responsibility. Take your JavaScript spaghetti and make it unit testable.
Attendees should have some exposure to JavaScript, but this is for the Professional Newbie... who always needs to learn and adapt.
The document discusses the evolution of agile teams from having no tests to implementing behavior-driven development and domain-driven design using Behat acceptance tests. It provides examples of using Behat scenarios to drive the development of a domain model for a messaging system without frameworks or controllers. The benefits are a simple, framework-agnostic domain model that is easy to understand and test and separates business logic from the user interface layers.
Most projects in CF now involve creating some type of consumable CFC Endpoint or API Service... do you Unit test your API, do you use Integration Tests on your API? How many ways do you test your API? Not all tests are created equal.
We build our CFCs and CF API to be consumed with CF Apps, Mobile Apps, Javascript apps and devices we haven’t even thought about yet. To be smart developers we need to be able to test our CFC endpoints, and the code that uses those endpoints.
We’ll learn how to test your API serverside with Testbox and Clientside with Jasmine.
With Testbox and Jasmine both using BDD, your test code can almost be isomorphic.
Attendees should have some exposure to CFCs as endpoints, or CF API creations, and consuming with other languages/devices, in this case, JavaScript.
Attendees will learn

Unit testing @ WordPress Meetup Tilburg 7 januari 2014Barry Kooij
This document discusses unit testing in WordPress. It defines unit testing as automated tests that check single assumptions of code. The benefits of unit testing are instant feedback, low chance of errors, and embedding knowledge in code. PHPUnit is introduced as the main tool for unit testing in WordPress. Key aspects of unit testing covered include the Arrange, Act, Assert structure of tests; writing tests before or after code; and common PHPUnit assertions. The document provides an example unit test and contact info for the author.
This document discusses automated testing with Codeception. It introduces test-driven development (TDD) and its benefits. Codeception allows running different types of tests (acceptance, functional, unit) from one place. Installing and using Codeception for testing Drupal is described, including generating tests, running tests, using Selenium WebDriver, cleaning up databases, and reusing test code with step objects and page objects.
Automated Testing with Cucumber, PhantomJS and SeleniumDev9Com
The document discusses Behavior Driven Development (BDD) using Cucumber, Selenium, and PhantomJS. Cucumber uses a natural language syntax called Gherkin to write automated acceptance tests. Selenium is used to automate interactions with a web browser, while PhantomJS allows running those tests headlessly on a CI server without requiring a graphical browser. The example project demonstrates how Cucumber features written by PMs/BAs can be linked to Selenium step definitions to test a web application.
Efficient JavaScript Unit Testing, May 2012Hazem Saleh
One of the biggest challenges of many web applications is the support on the different browsers with different versions. JavaScript code that runs on Safari does not necessarily mean it will work on IE or Firefox or Google chrome. This challenge is inherited from the lack of testing the JavaScript code that lives in the presentation tier from day one. Without unit testing the JavaScript code, organization will pay much money for testing, re-testing, and re-testing web applications for just deciding upgrading or supporting new browsers. This presentation shows the solution of this problem.
Acceptance Test-driven Development (ATDD) involves collaboratively discussing acceptance criteria and examples before development begins. These criteria and examples are then distilled into concrete acceptance tests. The team then develops software features while hooking them up to the acceptance tests. Finally, the features and successful acceptance tests are demoed. Cucumber is a tool that allows executing acceptance tests written in a behavior-driven style using a Given-When-Then format. Cucumber tests can automate interactions with a web application using tools like Selenium WebDriver.
The following slides summarize and curate most of the knowledge and patterns gathered to date on Node error handling.
Without clear understanding and strategy, Node error handling might be the Achilles heel of your app – its unique single-threaded execution model and loose types raise challenges that don’t exist in any other frameworks. Node by itself doesn’t provide patterns for critical paths like where to put error handling code, even worst it suggest patterns that were rejected by the community like passing errors in callbacks.
It covers topics like promises, generators, callbacks, unhandled exceptions, APM products, testing errors, operational errors vs development errors and much more
Test all the things! Automated testing with Drupal 8Sam Becker
With Drupal 8 released, one of the most important aspects of building a website or module has changed dramatically for the better. Developers now have a myriad of tools at their disposal to be able to test their code. If you are interested in improving your code and preventing bugs, but are unfamiliar with acronyms like BTB, KTB and WTB, this session is for you. If you’ve dabbled in testing but haven’t explored the depths of PHPUnit or Mink, then this session is for you.
This document discusses test-driven development for JavaScript using various testing frameworks like YUI Test, JSpec, and JsTestDriver. It covers how to set up unit testing for JavaScript, challenges like testing asynchronous code and events, and strategies for addressing those challenges using tools like Sinon.js for stubs and mocks. The document also provides examples of testing a chat client application and integrating JavaScript testing into a continuous integration workflow using Hudson.
Rspec and Capybara Intro Tutorial at RailsConf 2013Brian Sam-Bodden
Behavior-Driven Development and Acceptance Testing are heavily intertwined and in many aspects are one and the same. Both focus on starting at the outer layers of your application by concentrating on what matter to users; behavior. In this session/workshop we'll talk about how testing can be used both for specifying your application yet to be develop expected behavior and as accurate, running documentation that can be used to validate your stakeholder's acceptance criteria. We'll talk about the different types of testing and do a few hands-on exercises to flesh out a Rails application with RSpec and Capybara.
Practical tips for dealing with projects involving legacy code. Covers investigating past projects, static analysis of existing code, and methods for changing legacy code.
Presented at PHP Benelux '10
This document provides an overview of dependency injection and related concepts like inversion of control and aspect oriented programming. It discusses what dependency injection is, when and why to use it, and examples of how it can make code more organized and flexible. Specifically, it explains how dependency injection frameworks can manage object creation through configuration rather than code, allowing dependencies to be easily swapped. It also describes how inversion of control "flips" code to externalize default values and dependencies, and how aspect oriented programming allows cross-cutting concerns to be modularized.
The document discusses continuous feature development. It defines a feature as a set of expected functional behaviors from a client. Continuous feature development involves incrementally building these expected behaviors. This approach is needed because clients' expectations, business needs, user perceptions, and competitive advantages are continually changing. Managing continuous feature development presents challenges like integrating new features, maintaining stability, seamless integration, and managing trust. The document recommends practices like acceptance test-driven development, test-driven development, behavior-driven development, continuous integration, coding in feature branches, code reviews, maintaining a production branch, using staging servers, and continuous integration to help address these challenges.
The document discusses testing legacy Rails applications. It provides steps to get testing set up on a legacy Rails app, including creating a test database, running migrations, and getting Rake tasks to run tests. It emphasizes starting with one test at a time, finding and fixing bugs, and refactoring code. Examples are given of writing a model test based on application logs and fixing a failure by updating code. The document stresses treating methods as isolated boxes and only testing one thing at a time to incrementally add tests to a legacy codebase.
How to test-drive your Qt QML code. Overview on how you do simple testing, UI level testing, synchronous testing, data-driven testing.
These are the slides used on the Tampere MeeGo meetup on March 15, 2011 and text may not be super clear for those who didn't attend the meetup. You can still download the example and examine it.
Yet Another Continuous Integration StoryAnton Serdyuk
This document describes the continuous integration process used at Startup Labs, Inc. It discusses using a single branch development model with feature flags instead of feature branches. Automated tests are run on every commit, with the goal of fast builds. Tests are run in parallel across multiple agents. Manual testing is done after automated testing. Load and migration tests are run before production deployments. The goals are agile development with small changes and frequent releases through continuous integration and deployment.
Automated Testing in WordPress, Really?!Ptah Dunbar
Did you know that WordPress has an automated test suite? It contains well over 1500 integration tests and growing. However one of the primary culprits of WordPress is in the quality of its plugins. Most plugins don't have an automated test suite you can run to verify all features are working as expected, and fail gracefully.
In this talk, Ptah will introduce you to automated testing in WordPress using PHPUnit. We will cover concepts like unit testing, integration testing and end-to-end testing with examples in WordPress. You will leave the talk equipped with practical knowledge and ready to start adding an automated test suite to your plugins.
Mal ganz ehrlich: Testen im Frontend hat noch nie viel Spaß gemacht. In meinem Talk möchte ich mit Jest eine Testbibliothek vorstellen, die genau das ändern kann. Jest lässt sich ohne viel Konfiguration direkt einsetzen und bringt alles mit, was man von einer Testbibliothek erwartet (und noch mehr).
An vielen praktischen Beispielen möchte ich meine Lieblingsfeatures wie Snapshot-Tests, Mocking oder das tolle CLI erläutern und zeigen, dass Testen im Frontend durchaus Spaß machen kann. Eine Ausrede weniger, um auf das Testen im Frontend zu verzichten!
Vorkenntnisse:
Grundlegende JavaScript-Kenntnisse.
Lernziele:
Die Teilnehmer sollen einen Überblick über die Funktionsweise und die Einsatzbereiche von Jest bekommen. Sie lernen, wie sie für Tests in Frontend-Projekten mit Jest im Werkzeugkoffer gut gerüstet sind.
Stackato is a PaaS cloud platform from ActiveState that allows developers to easily deploy applications to the cloud. It supports multiple languages including Perl, Ruby, and JavaScript. The presentation demonstrated deploying simple Perl apps to Stackato using the Mojolicious framework. Key benefits of Stackato include minimal differences between development and production environments, one-click deployments, and allowing developers to manage infrastructure. ActiveState is very open and provides documentation, examples, and a community forum to support Stackato users.
Cucumber is a testing tool that uses an outside-in approach to automation. It allows tests to be written in plain text using scenarios, and then automation code can be written in various programming languages to execute those scenarios. The Cucumber testing stack involves features, scenarios, steps, and step definitions that define the automation code. Maven and Gradle are common build tools used to manage Cucumber dependencies and projects.
Design patterns - Common Solutions to Common Problems - Brad WoodOrtus Solutions, Corp
This document discusses design patterns, which are common solutions to common programming problems. It describes several classic design patterns like Singleton, Strategy, Decorator, and Observer. It also discusses anti-patterns to avoid, like Anemic Domain Model and God Object. Finally, it mentions related principles like the Law of Demeter and Brook's Law.
The document provides an introduction to design patterns developed by the Gang of Four (GoF). It discusses several common design patterns in JavaScript like the constructor pattern, module pattern, singleton pattern, observer pattern, mediator pattern, prototype pattern, command pattern, facade pattern, and mixin pattern. For each pattern, it explains the problem it addresses, provides an example implementation, and notes advantages and disadvantages of the pattern. The overall document serves as a high-level overview of fundamental design patterns and their usage in JavaScript applications.

The document discusses making Symfony bundles more reusable by removing unnecessary conventions and dependencies. It suggests extracting code from bundles into plain PHP libraries and removing bundle-specific conventions from controllers, entities, and templates. This would allow code to be more portable between frameworks.
This document discusses several design patterns including Iterator, Adapter, Singleton, and Flyweight. It provides descriptions of each pattern, including when they should be used and how they work. The Iterator pattern provides a standard way to access elements of a collection. The Adapter pattern allows incompatible interfaces to work together. The Singleton pattern ensures that only one instance of a class can exist. The Flyweight pattern reduces memory usage by sharing instances for identical object states. Design patterns provide reusable solutions to common programming problems and improve code design, documentation and collaboration between developers.
DDD, CQRS and testing with ASP.Net MVCAndy Butland
This document provides an overview of a presentation on Domain Driven Design (DDD), Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), and testing with ASP.Net MVC. It introduces the presenter and gives an outline of the topics to be covered, including implementing DDD with ASP.Net MVC and Entity Framework, using a mediator pattern for CQRS, and unit testing models, queries, and commands. References are given to other authors and resources that influenced the approaches and implementations discussed in the presentation.
The Bundle system is one of the greatest and most powerful features of Symfony2. Bundles contain all the files related to a single feature of your application: controllers, entities, event listeners, form types, Twig templates, etc. But how much of that actually needs to be inside a bundle?
In this talk we’ll take a bundle, containing all those different types of classes, configuration files and templates, and strip it down to the bare necessities. And I promise that after moving many files out of the bundle, everything still works.
While looking for ways to move things out of the bundle, I will discuss some of the more advanced features of bundle design, like prepending configuration, compiler passes and Doctrine mapping drivers. We will end with a very lean bundle, surrounded by a few highly reusable, maximally decoupled libraries.
Software Engineering Best Practices @ NylasBen Gotow
Part of an introductory series given to new hires and interns, this talk is a crash course in design patterns and engineering best practices for new-grads with mostly academic computer science experience. Focuses on the things they don't teach you: naming things, working on a team, optimizing for maintainability.
This talk describes the current state of the Veil-Framework and the different tools included in it such as Veil-Evasion, Veil-Catapult, Veil-Powerview, Veil-Pillage, Veil-Ordnance
The document discusses the importance of clean code and avoiding software rot. It outlines characteristics of rotting software like rigidity, fragility, immobility and viscosity. The solution discussed is adopting good practices like those in software craftsmanship and clean code skills. These include principles like DRY, keeping methods small, using descriptive names and comments, following SOLID principles, and prioritizing readability and maintainability over optimizations.
Viktor Turskyi "Effective NodeJS Application Development"Fwdays
For 15 years in development, I managed to take part in the creation of a large number of various projects. I have already made a number of talks on the working architecture of Web applications, but this is only part of the efficient development puzzle. We will consider the whole process from the start of the project to its launch in production. I’ll tell you how we approach the ideas of the “12 Factor App”, how we use the docker, discuss environment deployment issues, security issues, testing issues, discuss the nuances of SDLC and much more.
The Ring programming language version 1.10 book - Part 83 of 212Mahmoud Samir Fayed
The Objects Library for RingQt applications provides classes to manage GUI objects and make it easier to create windows and connect events. The key classes are WindowsControllerParent for controller classes and WindowsViewParent for view classes. The Open_Window() function is used to open new windows, and Last_Window() gets the last opened window. Events can be connected to methods using the Method() function in view classes. Open_WindowAndLink() allows calling methods between linked window objects.
The document discusses different creational design patterns, including the Abstract Factory pattern and Factory Method pattern. The Abstract Factory pattern provides an interface for creating families of related objects without specifying their concrete classes. It allows a system to be independent of how its objects are created. The Factory Method pattern defines an interface for creating an object but lets subclasses decide which class to instantiate. It decouples class creation from use through delegation to subclasses.
Building scalable applications with angular jsAndrew Alpert
This document discusses best practices for organizing AngularJS applications. It recommends organizing files by feature rather than type, with each feature having related HTML, CSS, tests, etc. It also recommends structuring modules to mirror the URL structure and listing submodules as dependencies. The document discusses using services for reusable logic rather than large controllers. It emphasizes writing tests, managing technical debt, following code style guides, and using task runners like Grunt or Gulp to automate tasks.

"The working architecture of NodeJs applications" Viktor TurskyiJulia Cherniak
I've seen a lot of NodeJs applications. I see a lot of misunderstandings around architectural patterns. 99% of NodeJS tutorials do not cover this topic and limited to "hello world" apps. How to build a really large application? How to think about architectural layers? What is wrong with the majority of JS frameworks? How does GraphQL influence my architecture? I will answer all of these questions.
This document discusses hacking serverless runtime environments like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Auth0 WebTask. It begins by introducing the presenters and what will be covered. The document then explores how different vendors implement sandbox isolation and common attack techniques like persistence and data exfiltration. It examines specific runtimes like AWS Lambda in depth, investigating how to profile the environment, persist code, and escalate privileges. The document emphasizes that detection is difficult in serverless environments and provides examples of potential indicators of compromise. Overall, the document provides an overview of attacking and defending serverless architectures.

What Do Contribution Guidelines Say About Software Testing? (MSR 2025)Andre Hora
Software testing plays a crucial role in the contribution process of open-source projects. For example, contributions introducing new features are expected to include tests, and contributions with tests are more likely to be accepted. Although most real-world projects require contributors to write tests, the specific testing practices communicated to contributors remain unclear. In this paper, we present an empirical study to understand better how software testing is approached in contribution guidelines. We analyze the guidelines of 200 Python and JavaScript open-source software projects. We find that 78% of the projects include some form of test documentation for contributors. Test documentation is located in multiple sources, including CONTRIBUTING files (58%), external documentation (24%), and README files (8%). Furthermore, test documentation commonly explains how to run tests (83.5%), but less often provides guidance on how to write tests (37%). It frequently covers unit tests (71%), but rarely addresses integration (20.5%) and end-to-end tests (15.5%). Other key testing aspects are also less frequently discussed: test coverage (25.5%) and mocking (9.5%). We conclude by discussing implications and future research.

Scaling GraphRAG: Efficient Knowledge Retrieval for Enterprise AIdanshalev
If we were building a GenAI stack today, we'd start with one question: Can your retrieval system handle multi-hop logic?
Trick question, b/c most can’t. They treat retrieval as nearest-neighbor search.
Today, we discussed scaling #GraphRAG at AWS DevOps Day, and the takeaway is clear: VectorRAG is naive, lacks domain awareness, and can’t handle full dataset retrieval.
GraphRAG builds a knowledge graph from source documents, allowing for a deeper understanding of the data + higher accuracy.
Explaining GitHub Actions Failures with Large Language Models Challenges, In...ssuserb14185
GitHub Actions (GA) has become the de facto tool that developers use to automate software workflows, seamlessly building, testing, and deploying code. Yet when GA fails, it disrupts development, causing delays and driving up costs. Diagnosing failures becomes especially challenging because error logs are often long, complex and unstructured. Given these difficulties, this study explores the potential of large language models (LLMs) to generate correct, clear, concise, and actionable contextual descriptions (or summaries) for GA failures, focusing on developers’ perceptions of their feasibility and usefulness. Our results show that over 80% of developers rated LLM explanations positively in terms of correctness for simpler/small logs. Overall, our findings suggest that LLMs can feasibly assist developers in understanding common GA errors, thus, potentially reducing manual analysis. However, we also found that improved reasoning abilities are needed to support more complex CI/CD scenarios. For instance, less experienced developers tend to be more positive on the described context, while seasoned developers prefer concise summaries. Overall, our work offers key insights for researchers enhancing LLM reasoning, particularly in adapting explanations to user expertise.

Proactive Vulnerability Detection in Source Code Using Graph Neural Networks:...Ranjan Baisak
As software complexity grows, traditional static analysis tools struggle to detect vulnerabilities with both precision and context—often triggering high false positive rates and developer fatigue. This article explores how Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), when applied to source code representations like Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs), Control Flow Graphs (CFGs), and Data Flow Graphs (DFGs), can revolutionize vulnerability detection. We break down how GNNs model code semantics more effectively than flat token sequences, and how techniques like attention mechanisms, hybrid graph construction, and feedback loops significantly reduce false positives. With insights from real-world datasets and recent research, this guide shows how to build more reliable, proactive, and interpretable vulnerability detection systems using GNNs.

7. A Pattern Language
1977 book on architecture, urban
design, and community livability
The book creates a new language,
what the authors call a pattern
language derived from timeless entities
called patterns.
Patterns describe a problem and then
offer a solution. (253 patterns)
8. What is a Pattern?
“Each pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over
again in our environment, and then describes the core of the
solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this
solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way
twice.”
Christopher Alexander

11. Design Patterns:
Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
Inspired by Christopher’s work
23 programming patterns
Written by the “Gang of Four” in 1994
● Erich Gamma
● Richard Helm
● Ralph Johnson
● John Vlissides
12. Design Patterns:
Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
Creational Patterns
● Abstract Factory
● Prototype
● Singleton
13. Design Patterns:
Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
Structural Patterns
● Composite
● Decorator
● Facade
14. Design Patterns:
Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
Behavioural Patterns
● Chain of Responsibility
● Iterator
● Strategy
15. Inspiration, not copy/paste examples
“The examples are there for inspiration and explanation of the
ideas in the patterns. They aren't canned solutions; in all cases
you'll need to do a fair bit of work to fit them into your application.”
Martin Fowler
18. Object Factory
● An object that creates other objects
● Abstracts details of how the final objects are created
● Removes creation code from inside object to separate concerns
● Often used with the dependency injection pattern
● CFML Examples are WireBox or DI/1
20. Singleton
● Ensure class only has one instance
● Provide global access to this instance
● Just-in-time initialization
● Often times doesn’t hold state
● Object must be thread safe!
23. Strategy
● Define a family of algorithms
● Each one is encapsulated and interchangeable
● Often times each strategy implements an interface
● Each implementation can be different
● Strategies can be chosen at runtime
● Strategy in use is invisible to the program
26. Decorator
● Add responsibilities to a class dynamically
● Alternative to subclassing (not really an “is-a”)
● Decorator wraps original class
● Wrapping can be recursive
● Can be applied at runtime
● User of class does not know (or care) if it’s been decorated
27. iceCream = new iceCream();
iceCream.make();
sprinkledIceCream = new sprinklesDecorator( iceCream );
sprinkledIceCream.make();
Decorator
29. Adapter
● Modify the API of a class to be different
● Can “adapt” a class to work in another system
● Wraps the original class with a new interface
● Allows greater reuse
● Doesn’t modify original class
30. Adapter
oldCache = new oldCacheEngine();
oldCache.retrieve( ‘item’ );
adaptedCache = new cacheAdapter( oldCache );
adaptedCache.get( ‘item’ );
32. Front Controller
● A single point of entry for a web app
● Simplifies URL routing
● Makes global concerns like security checks easier
● Utilizes a controller to dispatch to the appropriate handler
● Usually index.cfm in CFML apps
35. Chain of Responsibility
● You have a large or dynamic list of handlers that need to respond
to a request
● You don’t want to couple the sender to the responders
● Creates a pipeline of linked handlers
● Each handler calls the next link in the chain
● A handler can abort the chain by not calling the next handler
36. Chain of Responsibility
function securityHandler( request ) {
if( !request.params.authenticated ){
throw ‘Not logged in’!
}
// Pass control to the next link in the chain
request.proceed();
}
38. Memento
● Capture and externalize an object's internal state
● Can be used to “snapshot” an object
● Can be used to restore an object to a previous state
● Great for serialization
● Can include composed objects
41. Observer (publish/subscribe)
● Defines “events” that are broadcast
● Defines zero or more observers who are listening to those events
● Promotes decoupling of a large system
● Listener can receive data about the event that has happened
● Bind listeners at runtime for dynamic behaviors
● Don’t call us, we’ll call you!
44. Double Checked Locking
● Protects creation of a shared resource with multithreading
● Reduces overhead of acquiring exclusive locks by first performing
a read-only check
● If creation is required, only then is an exclusive lock acquired
● Once a thread has the exclusive lock, the check is performed a
second time to ensure another thread hasn’t completed it
● Ensures thread safety without excessive locking
48. Anemic Domain Model
● When domain model is too “thin” and lacks any behavior
● Beans are only value objects with no behavior present
● Services are empty, meaning business logic has probably ended
up in your controllers or views
● Creates excessive classes
● Bloats application code
51. God Object
● A class with too much responsibility
● API is watered down with many unrelated methods
● Usually happens over time as code is added and never refactored
● Hard to maintain and test
● Lazy domain design and lack of planning
52. God Object
util = new generalControllerUtil();
util.createOrder();
util.addUser();
util.login();
util.runScheduledTasks();
util.orderPizza();
54. Premature Optimization
● Coding early-on for perceived efficiency
● Sacrificing good design, maintainability
● Often times overstating a negligible speed improvement
● Sometimes “proven” by a flawed “loop test”
● The “root of all evil” -- Donald Knuth
56. Improbability Factor
● Leaving known bugs in your system because they’re “not likely to
happen”
● Gambling with fate to save time and be lazy
● This is just inviting Murphy’s Law to come into full effect
● Can bite you later at the worst possible time
60. Law of Demeter
● Principle of least knowledge
● A unit of software should have limited knowledge about the other
units
● Software units should talk to friends and not to strangers
● Keeps low coupling between systems
● Rule of thumb: be careful accessing methods on objects obtained
from other objects (the “dot” rule)
61. Law of Demeter
orderCity = cart
.getOrder()
.getOrderDetails()
.getUser()
.getAddress()
.getCity()
.getName();
62. Principle of Least Astonishment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment
63. Principle of Least Astonishment (POLA)
● Applies to UI and software design
● "If a necessary feature has a high astonishment factor, it may be
necessary to redesign the feature”
● User controls should have a consistent behavior
● Predictable software is easier to use
● Basically, don’t make your users go “WTF!?”
64. Principle of Least Astonishment (POLA)
// Has side effect of removing all login history
user.getAPIKey();
66. Brook’s Law
● “Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later"
● Coined by Fred Brooks in his 1975 book The Mythical Man-Month
● Software development is knowledge work, and not fungible
● Throwing devs at a project will slow it down at first
● A larger team has more points of contact
● If 1 woman can have a baby in 9 months, it doesn’t mean 9
women can have a baby in 1 month
