Jack the Ripper and legacy codebases have more in common than you'd
think. Inspired by forensic psychology methods, you'll learn
strategies to predict the future of your codebase, assess
refactoring direction, and understand how your team influences the
design. With its unique blend of forensic psychology and code
analysis, this book arms you with the strategies you need, no
matter what programming language you use. Software is a living
entity that's constantly changing. To understand software systems,
we need to know where they came from and how they evolved. By
mining commit data and analyzing the history of your code, you can
start fixes ahead of time to eliminate broken designs, maintenance
issues, and team productivity bottlenecks. In this book, you'll
learn forensic psychology techniques to successfully maintain your
software. You'll create a geographic profile from your commit data
to find hotspots, and apply temporal coupling concepts to uncover
hidden relationships between unrelated areas in your code. You'll
also measure the effectiveness of your code improvements. You'll
learn how to apply these techniques on projects both large and
small.For small projects, you'll get new insights into your design
and how well the code fits your ideas. For large projects, you'll
identify the good and the fragile parts. Large-scale development is
also a social activity, and the team's dynamics influence code
quality. That's why this book shows you how to uncover social
biases when analyzing the evolution of your system. You'll use
commit messages as eyewitness accounts to what is really happening
in your code. Finally, you'll put it all together by tracking
organizational problems in the code and finding out how to fix
them. Come join the hunt for better code! What You Need: You need
Java 6 and Python 2.7 to run the accompanying analysis tools. You
also need Git to follow along with the examples.
