ExpenseReport

The ExpenseReport legacy code refactoring kata in various languages.

This is an example of a piece of legacy code with lots of code smells. The goal is to support the following new feature as best as you can:

  • Add Lunch with an expense limit of 2000.

Process

  1. 📚 Read the code to understand what it does and how it works.
  2. 🦨 Read the code and check for design smells.
  3. 🧑‍🔬 Analyze what you would have to change to implement the new requirement without refactoring the code.
  4. 🧪 Write a characterization test. Take note of all design smells that you missed that made your life writing a test miserable.
  5. 🔧 Refactor the code.
  6. 🔧 Refactor the test.
  7. 👼 Test-drive the new feature.

Credits

I first encountered the ExpenseReport example during a bootcamp at Equal Experts. I also have seen the ExpenseReport example being used by Robert "Uncle Bob" C. Martin. I have tried to research its origins but so far I have failed. If you know who has first come up with this example, please get in touch with me.
