Refactoring Improving the Design of Existing Code @mehlah
“A change to the system that leaves its behavior unchanged,
but enhances some nonfunctional quality – simplicity, flexibility, understandability, performance” Kent Beck, Extreme Programming Explained
“A change made to internal structure of software to make
it easier to understand and modify without changing its observable behavior.” Martin Fowler, Refactoring
“To refactor is to take a bad design, chaos even,
and rework it into well-designed code, with baby steps” Mehdi Lahmam B.
puts “Show me the code.” puts “Talk is cheap.”
A video store Customer Movie 1 * 1 * statement()
daysRented: int Rental priceCode: int
A video store aCustomer aRental aMovie *[for all rentals] getMovie
getPriceCode getDaysRented statement
What are your impressions ?
When you find you have to add a feature to
a program, and the program's code is not structured in a convenient way to add the feature, first refactor the program to make it easy to add the feature, then add the feature. Tip
Let’s Refactor
Before you start refactoring, check that you have a solid
suite of tests. These tests must be self-checking. Tip
Decomposing and Redistributing the Statement Method
None
Any fool can write code that a computer can understand.
Good programmers write code that humans can understand. Tip
Moving the Amount Calculation
None
None
None
State of classes after moving the charge method Customer Movie
1 * 1 * statement() daysRented: int Rental priceCode: int getCharge()
Extracting Frequent Renter Points
None
After extraction and movement of the frequent renter points calculation
Customer Movie 1 * 1 * statement() daysRented: int Rental priceCode: int getCharge() getFrequentRenterPoints()
aCustomer aRental aMovie *[for all rentals] getCharge getFrequentRenterPoints statement getPriceCode
getPriceCode
Removing Temps
None
Customer Movie 1 * 1 * statement() daysRented: int Rental
priceCode: int getCharge() getFrequentRenterPoints() getTotalCharge() getTotalFrequentRenterPoints()
aCustomer aRental aMovie getTotalCharge *[for all rentals]getCharge *[for all rentals]
getFrequentRenterPoints statement getPriceCode getPriceCode getTotalFrequentRenterPoints
Replacing the Conditional Logic on Price Code with Polymorphism
1. Move getCharge et getFrequentRenterPoints from Rental to Movie class
None
Movie getCharge() Regular Movie getCharge() Children Movie getCharge() New Release
Movie getCharge()
Price getCharge Regular Price getCharge Childrens Price getCharge New Release
Movie getCharge Movie getCharge return price->getCharge() Using the State pattern [GoF] on movie
2. Add a Price class with subclasses and change movie's
accessors for the price code to use the new class
None
3. Replace Movie's getCharge conditional with a type code behavior
in the Price Object
None
4. Move getFrequentRenterPoints method from Movie to Price and replace
conditional with polymorphism
