Crafting resilient code is one of the most important things we do as software developers, but it’s much easier said than done! Building with confidence requires an appropriate test harness and automated safeguards to ensure your software is robust.

In most real world scenarios, we don’t have the luxury of working with a green field project, so it can be difficult to apply best practices whilst maintaining legacy code. How then can we refactor, and effectively utilise test fakes appropriately?

Legacy code can be quite the challenge to manage, often resulting from untested scenarios, quick fixes, or less than successful initiatives. With few developers wanting to deal with it, it can end up with little remaining knowledge of its inner workings.

We can take many learnings from Michael Feathers book on “Working Effectively with Legacy Code”, but we can also use Kotlin migration as an effective tool to leverage the management, reduction, and removal of legacy code in our applications.
