The Gilded Rose Refactoring Kata: starting code and requirements for a classic refactoring exercise, provided in many programming languages. It is used for deliberate practice in writing tests and incrementally improving legacy code design.
Use cases
- practice refactoring legacy code
- learn how to write characterization tests
- run a coding dojo or team training exercise
- practice approval testing on untested code
- teach small-step refactoring techniques
When to choose
- you want a hands-on exercise to practice refactoring and test writing
- you are a coach running training sessions or coding dojos
- you want to learn approval/text-based testing on legacy code
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library or framework
- you want a complete tutorial with a worked solution rather than an exercise
- you are looking for automated refactoring tooling
