The goal is to maintain and enhance application code quality over time through refactoring and preventing technical debt.
Improving the Quality of Existing SoftwareSteven Smith
Given at DogFoodCon 2016 in Columbus, Ohio
As developers, most of our time is spent working on existing software – even if it’s just the software we wrote ourselves, yesterday. And over time, software rots. If were not diligent, our beautiful code can degrade into a worthless mess. Keeping our code in working condition is no different than changing the oil in our car “ its preventive maintenance. In this session, Steve will cover some common places to look for signs of degradation in existing applications, and describe the steps we can take to improve our code. Examples will use C# and primarily ASP.NET.
Improving the Quality of Existing SoftwareSteven Smith
How do you improve the quality of your existing software, while continuing to add value for your customers? What are some heuristics and code smells you can look for, and principles and patterns you can use to guide you, as you make your software better over time instead of worse?
Breaking Dependencies to Allow Unit TestingSteven Smith
Unit testing software can be difficult, especially when the software wasn't designed to be testable. Dependencies on infrastructure concerns and software we don't control are one of the biggest contributors to testing difficulty. In this session, you'll learn the difference between unit tests and other kinds of tests, how to recognize and invert dependencies, and how to unit test your code's interactions with these dependencies without testing the infrastructure itself.

Improving The Quality of Existing SoftwareSteven Smith
Presented at DevReach 2013.
As developers, most of our time is spent working on existing software. Sure, occasionally we get the chance to fire up a new Solution in Visual Studio, and that can be exciting. But after the first day, we find ourselves once more having to deal with the work we did yesterday. And today, we know more than we did yesterday, so there are things we’d do differently, if we had it to do over.
Over time, software rots. If we’re not diligent, our beautiful code can degrade into a worthless mess. Keeping our code in working condition is no different than changing the oil in our car – it’s preventive maintenance. In this session, Steve will look at some common places to look for signs of degradation in existing applications, and steps to take to improve the code. Examples will use C# and primarily ASP.NET.

Building unit tests correctly with visual studio 2013Dror Helper
Unit testing is now considered a mainstream practice, but that does not mean it is as common, pervasive or as well understood as it could or should be. Many programmers struggle with the quality of their tests and with the focus of their code. In this session we’ll learn how to write good unit testing code.
The document discusses using examples and acceptance criteria to define requirements for software development. It recommends collaborating with business analysts, developers and testers to define examples that specify desired system behaviors in a clear and executable way. Automating acceptance tests based on these examples helps communicate requirements, verify functionality and allow for faster development cycles and deployments. Challenges include maintaining the tests and ensuring they don't become brittle. Strategies like minimizing end-to-end tests and focusing on key user journeys can help address these challenges.
Beginners overview of automated testing with Rspecjeffrey1ross
The document provides an overview of automated testing for beginning developers, covering testing basics like unit tests and code coverage, popular Ruby testing tools and techniques like RSpec and Capybara, the benefits of automated testing like improved code quality and efficiency, and strategies for testing models, controllers, and views. It also discusses testing patterns and principles like the inverted testing pyramid, page object pattern, and single responsibility principle.
Automated acceptance tests (AATs) provide a way to specify and test a system's behavior in a way that is understandable to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. AATs should focus on major functionality and journeys through the system rather than individual stories. Page object patterns and other techniques can help make AATs more maintainable and readable. While AATs have benefits like earlier detection of bugs, their maintenance and speed make them best used selectively rather than for every user story.
A Senior automation engineer should be able to work independently on modules from start to finish and ask the right questions. Key areas for a Senior to focus on include processes, estimations, the Test Pyramid, programming languages, test automation frameworks, improvements, build tools, libraries, coverage, databases, design patterns, best practices, testing types, CI/CD, reporting, metrics, communication, Git, BDD, code review, coding standards, team leadership, conflict management, and business communication. Resources provided include books, presentations, documentation, and Epam webinars to learn about these topics.
The Cowardly Test-o-Phobe's Guide To TestingTim Duckett
The document discusses testing iOS applications. It begins by addressing why testing can be scary and introduces test-driven development as an approach to make testing less scary. It then covers different tools for testing iOS apps, including frameworks for unit testing and UI testing. It emphasizes the importance of mocking and stubbing dependencies to isolate parts of the code for testing. The document also discusses approaches for testing network requests, such as using a tool called OHHTTPStubs to stub network responses from files. It concludes by encouraging testing user interfaces in code and using mocking/stubbing to handle dependencies.
Testing for Agility: Bringing Testing into EverythingCamille Bell
The document discusses testing in an agile environment. It covers:
- Bringing testing into all aspects of development, not just as a separate phase.
- The problems that can arise from using a "waterfall" testing approach of waiting until late in the process to test, rather than continuous testing.
- How agile practices like test-driven development, behavior-driven development, and continuous integration can help transform testing practices from waterfall to more iterative and collaborative approaches.
Promoting Agility with Running Tested Features - Lightening TalkCamille Bell
This short Lighting Talk introduces the Running Tested Feature (RTF) metric, a wonderfully useful metric that's easy to collect and promotes agility. It provides examples of RTF when development has steady progress and when SW breaks. This talk also discusses what happens when people try to game the RTF metric.
The Running Tested Features metric provides developers, managers and customers alike with a clear, unambiguous gauge of real software development progress. Usable on any kind of development project, RTF’s focus on outcome instead of process makes RTF especially fit for Agile projects. Because RTF can be used with both Agile and Waterfall projects, RTF makes an excellent progress metric for teams transitioning to Agile.
Charles Nurse, a senior architect at DotNetNuke Corporation, presented on using behavior-driven development (BDD) with Visual Studio 2010, SpecFlow, and WATIN. He began with an introduction to BDD and its practices.

Слайды лекции факультатива "Введение в программирование". Немного об абстрактных типах данных. Стек, дек, очередь. Односвязный, двусвязный и закольцованный списки. Реализации на С#.
The document summarizes an experiment that studied the kinetics of a reaction between sodium hydroxide and ethyl acetate in batch and continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR). The objectives were to determine the reaction rate constant (k) and activation energy (Ea). For the batch reactor, k and fractional conversion were calculated from concentration data over time. For the CSTR, conductivity measurements at steady states were used to calculate k and Ea based on how they relate to temperature according to the Arrhenius equation. While some results agreed with expectations, the calculated k and Ea values differed substantially from literature values, suggesting issues with temperature control, flow rate calibration, or reactor volume measurement that need addressing in future experiments.

God instructed Moses to build a sanctuary called the tabernacle so that God could dwell among the Israelites. The tabernacle consisted of an outer sanctuary and an inner most holy place separated by a veil. Only the high priest could enter the most holy place once a year on Yom Kippur with blood sacrifices to atone for sins. The tabernacle and its furnishings, including the ark of the covenant, were built according to God's precise instructions. The tabernacle services involved animal sacrifices on the altar, which pointed to the need for blood atonement but did not ultimately take away sins.
CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) is an architectural pattern that separates read and write operations into different models. This improves read performance by allowing queries to be routed to optimized data stores like fast in-memory or denormalized databases. Commands produce events that are asynchronously published to multiple recipients. Event handlers subscribe to events and perform actions like persisting state changes or updating aggregates. The read side may be eventually consistent with the write side to improve write performance without distributed transactions. Messaging systems like RabbitMQ can reliably deliver commands and events. Frameworks like NCQRS help implement the CQRS pattern for .NET applications.

Sales transformation for the digital age - SydneyMarty Nicholas
Unprecedented changes in B2B buying dynamics are rendering legacy sales models increasingly less effective. With a digitally-empowered buyer firmly in control of the sales process, a new approach must emerge which is more customer-centric, more integrated with other functions and more technologically-enabled in order to secure sustainable growth.
Improving the Design of Existing SoftwareSteven Smith
The document discusses improving the design of existing software by following principles like DRY, SOLID, and refactoring code using techniques such as extracting classes, methods, and interfaces. It emphasizes writing characterization tests to preserve existing behavior when refactoring, and improving code quality by reducing duplication, dependencies, and complexity over time through preventative maintenance and refactoring.
Refactoring Applications using SOLID PrinciplesSteven Smith
We’ve all heard about well-designed software projects, where things aren’t (yet) a big ball of mud that’s painful to work with, but many of us aren’t lucky enough to work on these. Nor is it an option for us to get to start a brand new “greenfield” project, where we can leave behind the legacy of spaghetti code and technical debt our current project might have.
But there is hope! By applying refactoring steps based on SOLID principles of object oriented design, we can reduce the technical debt of our existing application, improve our code quality, and hopefully make our application more enjoyable and productive to work with.
In this session, we’ll briefly introduce the SOLID principles and several design patterns, and then we’ll apply these principles and patterns by improving the design of an existing application through several refactoring steps.

Software Architecture and Architectors: useless VS valuableComsysto Reply GmbH
The document discusses several cases where architecture decisions hurt software teams. It provides lessons learned from each case:
- Overly sharing code across domains can cause dependencies and fragility. Architectural boundaries should separate domains.
- Attempting to satisfy all use cases with a single highly configurable solution often satisfies no one. Specific solutions may be preferable.
- Microservices are not a universal solution and will not improve a flawed design alone. Modules should only be split across microservices at domain boundaries.
- Systems need to be designed to evolve dynamically over time as requirements change. Centralized control hinders this.

With the drive for continuous integration and delivery, the implications and approaches for designing more testable software are receiving substantial discussion and debate. What does testability really mean in practice? How do you take the idea of testability—how easy it is to test software—and put it into action through the different dimensions of designing and testing a real world product? Nir Szilagyi recognizes that the challenges of difficult-to-test software can transform a testing cycle from a small automation and exploratory effort to a long struggle of test preparation, execution, and debugging. He says testability starts with software design, goes through implementation, and encompasses building modular software, abstraction, simplicity, clear data interface, separation of business logic into self-sustained entities, and more. On the technical side of testability, Nir explores ways quality engineers and leaders can influence testability from early development through deployment. From his experiences he shares real-life testability examples which touch on the human process of building software including the relationship between testers and developers.
Integration strategies best practices- Mulesoft meetup April 2018Rohan Rasane
The document discusses best practices for integration strategies including using an integration platform, designing integrations, and implementing resiliency patterns. It recommends having an integration platform to provide features like batch processing, loose coupling, reuse, governance, and security. When designing integrations, questions about data, users, transactions, orchestrations, and future needs should be considered. Common resiliency patterns discussed are timeouts, circuit breakers, bulkheads, retries, and idempotency.
This document discusses code quality and defines the three Cs of code quality - clarity, complexity, and coverage. It explains that clarity means code is well formatted, cohesive, and has descriptive naming. Complexity is measured using cyclomatic complexity to identify tightly coupled code and methods with excessive logic. Coverage shows untested parts of an application but does not guarantee quality. The document emphasizes setting standards, integrating them into workflows using tools like Code Climate, Hound CI, and Codecov, and enforcing standards through linting and breaking builds on failures.

Abstract
The idea of this talk is to help development teams to make correct architectural decisions.
Andrei will highlight the basic architectural principles and show ways to achieve architecture that is good enough to cover the project requirements and evolve in the future.
He will also present several cases from real projects, where wrong, missing, or over-sophisticated architecture decisions really hurt the development teams:
- Painful sharing: do shared modules increase reusability or will be the source of problems?
- Microservices are the solution to every problem!
- Non-extensible extensibility: too sophisticated configuration hurts
- Over fine-grained: incorrect splitting to Microservices can make life even harder as with monolith
- Convey horizontal split: how organizational driven split can jeopardise the architecture
- Model-driven: central responsibility blocks and limits the team
- Cargo cult: blindly following patterns and rule can produce an unmaintainable system
- Freestyle architecture: what happens if teams completely ignore architecture
- Improve with less intelligence: smart endpoint and dumb pipes

Quality metrics and angular js applicationsnadeembtech
This document discusses various ways to measure and ensure code quality in JavaScript programs. It covers topics like linting, testing, complexity analysis, and static code analysis. Linters like JSHint and ESLint can check for style and syntax issues. Testing tools like Jasmine, Karma, and Protractor allow writing unit and integration tests. Complexity can be measured using metrics related to lines of code, arguments, nesting, and more. Tools like Plato and complexity-report provide metrics and visualizations. Adopting these practices helps reduce bugs and technical debt.
Code coverage is a measure of how much source code is covered during testing. It is not a goal in itself but can be used pragmatically to improve testing in several ways. Coverage data should be filtered and combined with other metrics to prioritize test development and focus on the most important or risky code. While 100% coverage may not be needed or prove quality, coverage is a useful tool when used properly along with other techniques rather than in isolation or as the only metric.
Apex Enterprise Patterns Galore - Boston, MA dev group meeting 062719BingWang77
1. The document summarizes best practices and patterns discussed at a Boston Salesforce Developers Group meeting, including triggers, controllers, SOQL, callouts, and batchable/schedulable jobs.
2. It recommends separating business logic from user interface code, using mock objects in tests to isolate units, and having a single "DatabaseJockey" class perform all DML for consistency.
3. Other tips include treating triggers like workflow rules, returning errors from controllers to the user interface, querying data once through a shared SOQL class, and abstracting callouts to external services. The takeaway was to establish patterns and evolve them over time.
This document discusses software development methodologies like Waterfall and Agile. It emphasizes that while Waterfall is still dominant, Agile is better suited for small organizations because it focuses on delivering working software frequently. It also stresses the importance of good programming practices like using intention-revealing names, avoiding side effects, and test-driven development (TDD) to produce understandable and testable code. Finally, it outlines various tools that can be used for project management, version control, testing, continuous integration, and monitoring in the development process.
This document discusses application architecture best practices. It recommends using inversion of control and dependency injection to create loosely coupled and testable code. Classes should have a single responsibility to reduce complexity. Code duplication should be reduced through refactoring techniques like extract method. The document presents the Onion Architecture as a way to structure applications into layers, with dependencies flowing inward. It suggests packaging code by feature to minimize the impact of changes. Finally, it proposes logging executed use cases as events that can be replayed to test for bugs before new releases.
The document discusses Clean Architecture, an architectural pattern for software design. It aims to facilitate maintainability, technical agility, and independent development. Clean Architecture prescribes separating an application into distinct layers - entities, use cases, interfaces, and entry points. This separation aims to make codebases independent of frameworks and easily testable. The document outlines principles like SOLID and DRY, and patterns like layered architecture and MVC that influence Clean Architecture. It provides tips for migrating existing applications to this architecture.
Patterns and practices for building enterprise-scale HTML5 appsPhil Leggetter
Developing large apps is difficult. Ensuring that code is consistent, maintainable, testable and has an architecture that enables change is essential. As is ensuring that multiple developers – across multiple teams – can efficiently contribute to the same application. When it comes to large server-focused apps, solutions to some of these challenges have been tried and tested. But, how do you achieve this when building HTML5 single-page apps?
In this session, Phil will cover the experiences his team have had when building HTML5 apps consisting of more than 250k lines of JavaScript (plus HTML templates, CSS, image, config etc) that are contributed to by multiple teams across multiple companies. He will highlight signs to watch out for as your HTML5 SPA grows, and a set of patterns and practices that help you avoid problems. He will also explain the simple yet powerful application architecture that their HTML5 apps have that is core to ensuring they scale.
Finally, Phil will demonstrate how tooling can be used to support these patterns and practices, and enable a productive developer workflow where the first line of code is feature code, features can be developed and tested in isolation, code conflicts are avoided by grouping assets by feature, and features are composed into apps.

Introducing Domain Driven Design - codemashSteven Smith
DDD provides a set of patterns and practices for tackling complex business problems with software models. Learn the basics of DDD in this session, including several principles and patterns you can start using immediately even if your project hasn't otherwise embraced DDD. Examples will primarily use C#/.NET.
Design patterns provide common templates for solving similar problems. They also provide a higher-level language for software developers to use to describe approaches they might choose when designing part of an application. This session introduces and applies several patterns useful to web application developers. Examples will primarily use C#/.NET.
Given at DogFoodCon 2016 in Columbus, Ohio
Domain Events, a Domain-Driven Design (DDD) pattern, provide a way to decouple your code. Rather than hard-coding a series of steps that must be completed in response to a particular action a user takes, that action can raise an event. Handlers for an event can be added without changing the code responsible for raising the event, resulting in a more extensible design. Coupled with SignalR or push notifications in the UI layer, domain events can trigger live updates, even to web-based applications and mobile apps.
ASP.NET 5 has been redesigned with an emphasis on speed, composability, and cross-platform support. The new ASP.NET is leaner, faster, open source, and fixes many of the inconsistencies and problems present in ASP.NET today.

My 2004 deployment to Iraq and missions as a combat engineer platoon leader in support of EOD missions. Presented to Ravenna, Ohio Daughters of the American Revolution chapter 18 October 2014
This document discusses Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and how it can be applied to ASP.NET MVC projects. It covers DDD concepts like ubiquitous language, bounded contexts, entities, value objects, domain services, and domain events. It also discusses how to structure an MVC project to separate the domain model from the rest of the application using patterns like layered architecture and ports and adapters. The document argues that DDD can provide benefits like flexibility, manageable complexity, and centralized business logic, though it may require more time and effort to implement.
Refactoring with SOLID Principles (FalafelCon 2013)Steven Smith
We’ve all heard about well-designed software projects, where things aren’t (yet) a big ball of mud that’s painful to work with, but many of us aren’t lucky enough to work on these. Nor is it an option for us to get to start a brand new “greenfield” project, where we can leave behind the legacy of spaghetti code and technical debt our current project might have.
But there is hope! By applying refactoring steps based on SOLID principles of object oriented design, we can reduce the technical debt of our existing application, improve our code quality, and hopefully make our application more enjoyable and productive to work with.
In this session, we’ll briefly introduce the SOLID principles and several design patterns, and then we’ll apply these principles and patterns by improving the design of an existing application through several refactoring steps.
Common ASP.NET Design Patterns - Telerik India DevCon 2013Steven Smith
This document provides an overview of common ASP.NET design patterns, including Singleton, Strategy, Repository, Proxy, Command, and Factory patterns. It discusses the intent, structure, and usage of each pattern. Code examples and references are also provided. Real-world examples are discussed to demonstrate how design patterns can be used to address issues like tight coupling and improve code quality during refactoring or initial design.
Refactoring with SOLID - Telerik India DevCon 2013Steven Smith
The document discusses refactoring applications using SOLID principles. It covers how software can deteriorate over time through duplication, excess coupling, quick fixes, and hacks. It advocates using preventative maintenance through refactoring to eliminate duplication and simplify design, as well as automated tests to verify correctness and avoid regressions. The document outlines the refactoring process and introduces characterization tests. It then covers each SOLID principle - Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion - and provides examples of how to apply them through various refactorings.
Common asp.net design patterns aspconf2012Steven Smith
This document discusses common ASP.NET design patterns. It provides an overview of several design patterns including singleton, factory, repository, dependency injection, and MVC. It also demonstrates these patterns in code examples and discusses when to use certain patterns over others. Real world examples are given and it encourages the use of design patterns to reduce coupling and improve code organization, testability, and maintenance.
Pair programming involves two programmers working together at one computer. One person acts as the driver who types code while the other navigates and reviews. It has benefits like catching mistakes earlier, improving design quality, transferring knowledge between partners, and creating a stronger sense of team. While there is initially a 15% overhead in time, studies show this is outweighed by fewer defects and a more flexible system in the long run. Effective pair programming requires collaboration, respect, communication and regularly alternating roles.
The document discusses anti-patterns and worst practices in software development. Some examples covered include static cling pattern, flags over objects, premature optimization, copy-paste-compile, and reinventing the wheel. It also shares lessons learned from experiences, such as being mindful of date times across time zones, avoiding building SQL from untrusted inputs, and not being too cute with test data. Overall, the document aims to help developers learn from the mistakes of others and adopt better practices.

6. Technical Debt
• Low quality code and shortcuts in our applications
• Technical debt, like real debt, has direct cost to pay off as well as interest
10. “

You don’t need permission to practice basic hygiene
when you write software.
http://ardalis.com/when-should-you-refactor/
Make cleaning up your code something you do as part of writing code.
13. The Refactoring Process
• Verify existing behavior
• Write CharacterizationTests if none exist
• Find test points
• Break dependencies
• Apply Refactoring
• Confirm existing behavior is preserved
14. CharacterizationTests
Process
1. Write a test you know will fail
2. Use the output of the failing test to determine the existing behavior to
assert
3. Update the test with the new value/behavior
4. Run the test again – it should now pass

25. Single Responsibility Principle
The Single Responsibility Principle states that every object should have a single
responsibility, and that responsibility should be entirely encapsulated by the
class.
Wikipedia
There should never be more than one reason for a class to change.
Robert C. “Uncle Bob” Martin
26. What is a responsibility?
“My CustomerManager class is only responsible for
anything to do with a Customer.That follows SRP, right?”
27. Examples of Responsibilities
• Persistence
• Validation
• Notification
• Error Handling
• Logging
• Class Selection / Construction
• Formatting
• Parsing
• Mapping
28. Dependency and Coupling
• Excessive coupling makes changing legacy software difficult
• Breaking apart responsibilities and dependencies is a large part of working
with existing code
36. Open / Closed Principle
The Open / Closed Principle states that software entities (classes, modules,
functions, etc.) should be open for extension, but closed for modification.
Wikipedia
37. Open / Closed Principle
Open to Extension
New behavior can be added in the future
Closed to Modification
Changes to source or binary code are not required
Dr. Bertrand Meyer originated the OCP term in his 1988 book, ObjectOrientedSoftwareConstruction
42. OCP OK
private IEnumerable<ICustomerRule> _rules;
public bool IsSpecialCustomer(Customer customer)
{
foreach(var rule in _rules)
{
if(rule.Evaluate(customer) == false) return false;
}
return true;
}

44. Liskov Substitution Principle
The Liskov Substitution Principle states that Subtypes must be substitutable for
their base types.
Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#
Named for Barbara Liskov, who first described the principle in 1988.
48. Nulls Break Polymorphism
foreach(var employee in employees)
{
if(employee == null)
{
// print not found message
break;
}
Helpers.PrintEmployee(employee);
} http://ardalis.com/nulls-break-polymorphism

50. Interface Segregation Principle
The Interface Segregation Principle states that Clients should not be
forced to depend on methods they do not use.
Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#
Corollary:
Prefer small, cohesive interfaces to “fat” interfaces
55. ISP OK (i.e. to support CQRS)
public IRepository<T> : IReadRepository<T>,
IWriteRepository<T>
{ }
public IReadRepository<T>
{
T GetById(int id);
IEnumerable<T> List();
}
public IWriteRepository<T>
void Create(T item);
void Update(T item);
void Delete(T item);
}
Existing implementations of
IRepository<T> are
unaffected by pulling out
smaller interfaces!
No existing code breaks!
56.
57. Dependency Inversion Principle
High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Both
should depend on abstractions.
Abstractions should not depend on details. Details should depend on
abstractions.
Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#
58. Dependency Inversion Principle
• Depend on Abstractions
• Interfaces, not concrete types
• Inject Dependencies into Classes
• Structure Solution so Dependencies FlowToward Core
• Onion Architecture (a.k.a. Ports and Adapters, a.k.a. Hexagonal Architecture)
60. Data Access Evolution
No separation of concerns:
Data access logic baked directly into UI
ASP.NET Data Source Controls
Classic ASP scripts
Data access logic in UI layer via codebehind
ASP.NET Page_Load event
ASP.NET Button_Click event
User Interface
Database
Compile Time
Runtime
61. Data Access : Helper Classes
Calls to data made through a utility
Example: Data Access Application Block
(SqlHelper)
Logic may still live in UI layer
Or a Business Logic Layer may make calls to a
Data Access Layer which might then call the helper
User Interface
Database

62. What’s Missing? Abstraction!
No way to abstract away data

concrete implementations
What should we call such
interfaces? Repositories!

• Third Party Libraries
• Database
• File System
• Email
• Web Services
• System Resources (Clock)
• Configuration
• The new Keyword
• Static methods
• Thread.Sleep
• Random

65. Common Refactorings
• Extract Class
• Extract Interface / Apply Strategy Pattern
• Extract Method
• Introduce Service Locator / Container
67. Hidden Dependencies
• Checkout Depends on an available SMTP server, but the class doesn’t reflect
this
• Follow the Explicit Dependencies Principle
• http://deviq.com/explicit-dependencies-principle/
73. Self-Improvement and Quality
• How fast can you produce:
• Code you believe to be of high quality
• Code that maybe gets the job done, but you believe to be of low quality
• Which one can you produce more quickly?
• Why?
• How can we develop our skills and our tools so that building quality is
natural and easier than not doing so?
Over time, neglect can turn software from well-oiled machinery into heaps of useless junk.
Typically the low quality code was left because of the need to meet deadlines, but once in place, the justification for having put it there no longer matters.
Whenever you are forced to work around the hacks, bad code, etc, in your application, the decrease in your productivity represents interest on technical debt. If you spend time refactoring the code to improve its quality, you are paying down the principal of the technical debt (and thus reducing future interest costs).
Should we spend an iteration or a month just trying to improve the quality of the system, and pay down technical debt?
What would you think if you went to your favorite restaurant, only to find that it was closed for a month, with a sign explaining that it needed to clean up things that had gotten out of hand due to neglect. Would you feel as confident about eating the product of that kitchen, knowing it had let things go so wrong that it now needed a month without producing food just to clean up the mess it had created. How do you think our customers should feel if we request time to clean up our code instead of fixing bugs or delivering new features?
By definition, refactoring attempts to improve the quality of a software application without changing its behavior. If you’re changing behavior, you’re not refactoring, you’re fixing a bug or adding a feature (hopefully – or adding a bug).
Only refactor code while your tests are passing. Make sure they still pass when you are done. Break large refactorings into small steps and test after each step.
Note that characterization tests, though they should be automated, are often not what we would think of as unit tests, or perhaps even integration tests. For instance, you could dump a log file showing the relevant state of the application, and then use that as the basis for your characterization test by comparing against it after your changes.
Avoid creating a big ball of mud system, where tracing through your code and its dependencies is like trying to unwind a tangled mess of spaghetti.
Principles provide guidance for refactoring. They provide a consistent target to aim toward.
A very common source of repetition of code is role checks. These often describe different scenarios in different circumstances. For instance, maybe administrators can do anything, but managers can access resources within their division, etc. Encapsulating the logic of CanView, CanCreate, CanEdit, etc. in privilege objects makes these rules explicit, easier to test, and gives them a single location to live in the application.
Visual Studio can quickly analyze a project and show statistics for the classes and methods in the project. The maintainability index, cyclomatic complexity, and lines of code are all great metrics to pay attention to. The ideal maintainability index is 100, but don’t expect to hit that with any code that’s doing real work. However, you should certainly able to keep it above 50.

I’m not a fan of regions. They mainly exist because at one time they were a reasonable means of hiding generated code, before we had support for partial classes and other language features to deal with this. The worst offense with regions is when they’re used within a method, like this:
(click)
They’re also bad when used at the class level for “standard” formatting of code, making it impossible to actually see what the code does, like this:
(click)
Can someone tell me what this class does?

I have a whole article devoted to why using regions is a bad habit, anti-pattern, code smell, whatever you prefer. It includes some survey results on the most common ways people use them as well. (click)
Open-Closed Principle
Software can only be open to extension in a few different axes, and each additional bit of flexibility adds complexity to the software. Thus, this flexibility should be added only when needed, not simply anticipated.
What happens when we need to add another country?
What happens when we must add another rule?
How can we refactor this so this method no longer needs to change?
Define a type to describe a rule. Move each rule into its own type. Create a collection of rules to apply and apply them.
Pass the set of rules into the IsSpecialCustomer() method’s class (or even the method itself).
Any time you find that you need to check the type of an object within a polymorphic block of code (such as a foreach), this is a sign that you are breaking LSP.
Nulls break polymorphism and violate LSP just as much as other subtypes that aren’t substitutable! Try to avoid the possibility of dealing with nulls in polymorphic code like foreach loops – consider using Null Object Pattern to address.
This is an extemely common example of the Repository design pattern. In fact, I use this exact pattern in quite a few production applications today. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this implementation on its own. However, sometimes it does violate ISP if you need to separate Commands from Queries
You can create small interfaces and compose the larger interfaces from the smaller ones if you control all of the code and you can’t simply do away with the larger interfaces. In this case, the separation of interfaces would allow us to do something like implement caching only on the read operations, and implement delayed writes using some kind of queue or message bus for the write operations.
