Im März ist der Chefarchitekt Chris von “Structure 101” bei uns zu Gast und wird das Produkt Restructure 101 vorstellen:
Abstract:
The principles of modularity have been applied to engineering projects since
Gorak built the wheel, and Thag the barrow of the world’s first wheelbarrow.
Thag’s barrow didn’t care that the wheel was first hewn from rock, and later
upgraded to a lighter, wooden one, and Gorak’s wheel design was reused for
the world’s first chariot. This is how humans make sense of complexity – we
divide and conquer.
Analogous principles of modularity are taught in Software Engineering 101 –
information hiding, interfaces, clear responsibility, high internal
cohesion, low external coupling, etc., and we apply these routinely as we
develop, and continuously refactor the code encapsulated within classes.
However when the number of classes reaches some threshold, higher level
abstractions are needed in order to manage the complexity of the growing
codebase. This limit is usually overshot and the team is soon drowning in an
ocean of classes. At this point it is time to restructure the code-base into
a hierarchy of modules above the class level, or watch the team’s
frustration continue to rise, and productivity plummet.
This talk proposes a measurement framework for assessing the quality of a
modular structure, identifying regions of poor modularity, and for assessing
the impact of restructuring or refactoring actions. Based on this framework,
the talk introduces strategies for retro-fitting modularity to an existing
codebase, with minimum impact on the code logic itself.
This material is based on experience gained while helping many development
teams through the restructuring process. The concepts will be illustrated by
examples.
