DPC2019: Hello my name is "if" - Sebastian Feldmann

Testing

"Unlock the power of simple code with Sebastian Feldmann's talk on eliminating intermediate complexity, refactoring, and improving maintainability through unit testing and TDD."

Key takeaways

Complex conditionals can be reduced to eliminate intermediate complexity
Implementing guard clauses can simplify code and reduce cyclomatic complexity
Avoid using conditionals for control flow and instead use function calls
Small, focused tests can help reduce complexity and improve testability
Keep cyclomatic complexity low by avoiding conditionals and using functions
Writing unit tests can help identify and eliminate intermediate complexity
Code should be readable and maintainable, even for new developers
Refactoring is important for maintaining code quality
Intermediate complexity is often a sign of a larger problem that needs to be addressed
Testing and refactoring can help reduce the complexity of conditionals and improve maintainability
Avoid duplication by using functions and interfaces for common behaviors
Code should be simplified and refactored to remove unnecessary complexity
Test-driven development (TDD) can help identify and eliminate intermediate complexity
Low cyclomatic complexity is important for maintainable code
Complex conditionals can be related to unnecessary complexity and should be refactored
TDD can help ensure that code is simple and easy to maintain
Refactoring can help improve code quality and reduce complexity.
