gilded-rose-refactoring

Idea

This repository aims to refactor GildedRose Kata for teaching refactoring. The refactored code addresses numerous code smells present in the original implementation, including:

• Inappropriate Intimacy
• Feature envy
• Long method
• Duplicate code
• Data class
• Switch statements

The code to refactor is available here.

Refactoring techniques used

The following refactoring techniques were used:

• Move method
• Replace temp with query
• Rename method
• Extract method
• Replace constructor with factory method
• Replace conditional with polymorphism --> Conditionals were replaced with appropriate abstractions containing HashMap.

What is not covered

• This repository does not implement any feature mentioned in the GildedRose Kata.
• This repository does not implement solitary unit-tests. All the unit-tests are sociable.
