Refactoring is a fundamental practice for an agile developer. Each refactoring is a small and isolated activity, but the value comes when you perform a sequence of refactorings to effect larger changes. This workshop will guide participants through hands-on exercises designed to teach three essential skills to become good at refactoring:
- Identifying what needs refactoring: what makes code smell, confusing, or complex?
- Identifying the end goal: what are the design options and which one will yield the best results?
- Tracing a strategy to get the code from 1 to 2.
For the workshop, developers should bring their laptop with a basic working Java environment (JDK 1.6+, Eclipse or IntelliJ), have some knowledge about automated testing (JUnit) and refactorings, and optionally spend some time getting familiar with the code base we will use in the workshop here.
This workshop has been presented at Agile Brazil 2013, as well as internally at ThoughtWorks.
The workshop is co-presented with Mariana Bravo.
