if a system is complex, it's not simple to understand or modify. so software complexity is how obvious the system is to users.

In this post, I’ll share my thoughts on software complexity, and I welcome any feedback.

Replay Production Traffic for Testing

Hoboken Days — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 16:08:10 +0000

Production traffic is valuable for testing because it contains diverse requests that can cover many edge cases.

In software testing, the earlier a bug is found, the cheaper it is to fix.

But can you replay production traffic to test your system? What if the system has many dependencies? What about the state?

This post shares my experiences and lessons learned from replaying production traffic for testing.

You Don't know Chain of Responsibility Pattern

Hoboken Days — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 16:00:33 +0000

The Chain of Responsibility pattern is very appealing to me.

In this pattern, the request and receiver are decoupled, and each handler is isolated, forming a chain of handlers to process the request.

However, after using it in my project, I realized that I had been using it incorrectly. I misunderstood the Chain of Responsibility.

Chain of Responsibility — To Use It or Not To Use It

All design patterns share a common goal: isolating code within programs. Each pattern uses abstractions to isolate changes, ensuring that modifying one part of the code doesn’t necessarily require changes in unrelated parts.

Check this post to see if you can use the CoR pattern in your project.
