Working Effectively with Legacy Code

　　Get more out of your legacy systems: more performance, functionality, reliability, and manageability
　　
　　Is your code easy to change? Can you get nearly instantaneous feedback when you do change it? Do you understand it? If the answer to any of these questions is no, you have legacy code, and it is draining time and money away from your development efforts.

　　Is your code easy to change? Can you get nearly instantaneous feedback when you do change it? Do you understand it? If the answer to any of these questions is no, you have legacy code, and it is draining time and money away from your development efforts.
　　
　　In this book, Michael Feathers offers start-to-finish strategies for working more effectively with large, untested legacy code bases. This book draws on material Michael created for his renowned Object Mentor seminars: techniques Michael has used in mentoring to help hundreds of developers, technical managers, and testers bring their legacy systems under control.
　　
　　The topics covered include
　　
　　Understanding the mechanics of software change: adding features, fixing bugs, improving design, optimizing performance
　　Getting legacy code into a test harness
　　Writing tests that protect you against introducing new problems
　　Techniques that can be used with any language or platform—with examples in Java, C++, C, and C#
　　Accurately identifying where code changes need to be made
　　Coping with legacy systems that aren't object-oriented
　　Handling applications that don't seem to have any structure
　　This book also includes a catalog of twenty-four dependency-breaking techniques that help you work with program elements in isolation and make safer changes.
