Legacy Code - Testing and Safe Refactoring - Laravel Live UK 2019

"I can't test this code because it's legacy. I need to update the code to make it testable. How can I manage that, without breaking existing functionality? I'll need to write some tests, but... argh!"

We've all been there! In this talk we'll look at safe ways to refactor 'untestable' code to make it testable - without breaking any existing functionality. Promise! Then, further changes will be much easier!

1. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Legacy Code. testing & safe refactoring
2. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive What is legacy code? • Code that wasn’t written by you, just now • Code resulting from incorrect assumptions • Code built using unsupported technology • Code that isn’t tested
3. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive What is refactoring? • Changing existing code without changing the application logic • Improving code structure • Usually done in small, incremental steps
4. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Why would I refactor? • Improve other developer’s understanding • Increase the application’s performance • Introduce new technology • Accommodate changes in product requirements
5. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive What is unit testing? • Verification that each individual ‘unit’ of an application works as intended • Units are the component parts of your application • Generally, each behaviour is a unit; likely to be contained within a function • Unit testing is not a substitute for other types of testing
6. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Why would I unit test? • Aid in the documentation of the system • To prevent regressions when adding/changing code • To test integration with new technology • For validation of product requirements
7. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Paradox: can’t refactor untested code, but can’t test the code until it’s refactored.
8. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive A solution 1. Rewrite the entire codebase 2. … 3. Profit! 1. Rewrite the entire codebase 2. … 3. Profit!
9. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive A better solution 1. Perform just enough refactoring to make the code testable 2. Test the code 3. Refactor the code further 4. Profit!
10. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Assumptions: you’re developing with PHP and you have access to a terminal with Composer.
11. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive “ PHPUnit is a programmer-oriented testing framework for PHP. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks. PHPUnit Reference: https:/ /phpunit.de/

21. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Mocking - Caution! DO: • Mock dependencies, when needed. • Be aware of tautological testing. DON’T: • Mock everything. • Mock the system under test.
