Talk Details

Before spending substantial effort in refactoring or altering design, it would be prudent to evaluate the current quality of design. This can help us decide if we should proceed with refactoring effort or a particular alteration of design. Furthermore, after evolving a design, using some design metrics would help us to evaluate if we have improved on the design front. In this workshop we will learn about some critical qualities of design and how to measure those. We will learn about these by working through some example code, refactoring it, and evaluating the design again at each stage of refactoring.
