Workshop name: Legacy Code Workshop

Course code: CIR-1

Workshop days: 1.0

Your workshop: It was a little tricky to find suitable code to work through for the workshop as it was important to have something that could be made to build with a test harness without too much effort and that did not have so many dependencies that we would be tackling build issues instead of test concepts. It did take a bit of time which may have not been so interesting for some attendees. We would have liked more on the SOLID principles on that day as we already have some good test practices.

Better prepared: Much better

How to improve: The approach to getting an existing software module to be extracted from its dependencies in order to be tested independently was very useful and no doubt helped to encourage people to persevere rather than give up when it starts to look like too much effort.
