Taming your Java legacy codeThis session will outline patterns and strategies that can be used to make work easier in large existing Java codebases. An emphasis will be placed upon specific patterns that can be used to identify and break dependencies in code, allowing pieces to be pulled into test harnesses at the unit, component, and subsystem levels. You'll also learn how to introduce permanent scaffolding in your code to make system evolution easier. The session will consist of lecture and a set of guided exercises in Java. However, we will discuss the application of the techniques in other languages and environments. *Audience background:*This session is for people who have experience working in large Java code bases. Intermediate level familiarity with Java is required.
