That’s what everyone says: entropy is inevitable, and chaos eventually turns your beautifully imagined, well-designed code into a big mess of spaghetti. if you don’t refactor. Refactoring is the process of improve the design of existing code, and in this session, we’re joined by one of its most influential voices: Martin Fowler.

A central benefit of doing test-first development is getting a suite of behavioral tests to regress code and support refactoring efforts. But when doing test-first development in practice, many developers write too many tests and implementation-dependent tests that break during refactoring.

Given the variety of factors and business outcomes, it’s a complex exercise to determine what applications should be rewritten for native cloud, refactored to better leverage cloud’s benefits, or alternatively, rehosted or relocated to gain essential advantages. Naturally, companies are drawn to AWS Cloud to reduce operating expenses.

Disentangling Programming Concerns At first glance, all the activities I mentioned seem inseparable, like a big blob of spaghetti code. What do we want to achieve with the code we’re creating? In most cases, we need the ability to evolve the code. To solve a problem, we first have to truly grasp it. How should it behave?

Next, determine the most suitable application migration strategy, whether it’s “lift-and-shift,” re-platforming, refactoring, or even rebuilding the application from scratch. Replatforming and refactoring approaches take advantage of cloud services and solution patterns, making this most often the most effective approach.”

This makes refactoring cheaper, as we don’t necessarily have to change both sides of the equation. Orientating around behaviour necessitates deeper insight and deliberation, similar to packaging code by concern as opposed to type does. We increase the ability to restructure the implementation whilst keeping our safety net intact.

A narrow test is focused on a small amount of code. The size of your unit test code should be proportional to the size of your production code. Look for ways to decouple your code so that each class or module can be tested independently. Design your code to minimize the number of narrow integration tests you need.
