Look inside

The company you work for wants to improve its system by adding functionality that maximizes the profitability of any given search. As the resident TypeScript developer, your task is to apply a battery of tests to support changing the design of legacy code in preparation for adding this new functionality. You’ll refactor your production code based on advice from your architecture team. Thanks to a broad test suite, you’ll be able to change your design with no worries about accidentally breaking a required behavior. The result will be a system you can test with smaller, more meaningful tests and that easily withstands future requirement changes.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
