Elements of JavaScript Style
- 1. Make the function the unit of composition. One job for each function.
- 2. Omit needless code.
- 3. Use active voice.
- 4. Avoid a succession of loose statements.
- 5. Keep related code together.
- 6. Put statements and expressions in positive form.
- 7. Use parallel code for parallel concepts.
- Conclusion: Code should be simple, not simplistic.
Mocking is a Code Smell
- TDD should lead to better design.
- What is a code smell?
- What is a mock?
- What is a unit test?
- What is test coverage?
- What is tight coupling?
- What causes tight coupling?
- What does composition have to do with mocking?
- How do we remove coupling?
- “Code smells” are warning signs, not laws. Mocks are not evil.
