In this liveProject, you’ll set up tests to support refactoring of a legacy library. As you lack a written specification, you’ll use “pinning tests” to extract a specification from the existing code, and generate a wide range of test coverage. You’ll learn to spot when and where to improve code maintainability, and set up mutation testing to ensure your tests catch unintended changes.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
