Testing

Clean Code principles and best practices to ensure maintainable and efficient software development, including modern programming concepts and design patterns.

Key takeaways

Ensure 100% coverage of code, including mutation coverage.
Avoid excessive chaining of methods.
Align methods back together after refactoring.
Don’t hesitate to break down functions into smaller parts.
Use functional programming concepts, such as pure functions and immutable objects.
Avoid side effects in code.
Use tuples judiciously, as they can lead to code smells.
Extract parameter objects to simplify code.
Avoid using getters and setters excessively.
Use classes to group related attributes together.
Avoid putting too much logic in data classes.
Keep code simple and easy to understand.
Avoid side effects in code.
Use loops sparingly and refactor them when necessary.
Avoid using checked exceptions, which can lead to complex code.
Keep code organized and maintainable.
Avoid duplicating code and refactor it instead.
Use design patterns, such as the singleton pattern, judiciously.
Use dependency injection to decouple objects.
Avoid using magic numbers in code.
Use constants to represent magic numbers.
Avoid using long, complex method signatures.
Break down complex methods into smaller parts.
Use code reviews to improve code quality.
Continuously refactor code to improve maintainability.
Use automated testing to ensure code quality.
Avoid using commented-out code.
Use version control systems to track changes to code.
Avoid duplicating code and refactor it instead.
Use design patterns, such as the singleton pattern, judiciously.
Use dependency injection to decouple objects.
Avoid using magic numbers in code.
Use constants to represent magic numbers.
Avoid using long, complex method signatures.
Break down complex methods into smaller parts.
