Measuring Quality of Design
Monday, 9:00 AM EST - BEACH SALON
Creating good design take effort and is an incremental process. Red-green-refactor is the mantra of TDD. As we continue to evolve the design, how do we know if the design needs some tweaking, or a lot, or is in a pretty good shape… from the extensibility and maintainability point of view. This is where measuring the quality of design comes in.
In this workshop we will start with a quick discussion of some fundamental characteristics that provide for better design, how to measure them, and how to keep an eye on them as we refactor and evolve the design. We will work with practical code examples to measure, refactor, and revaluate the quality of design.
