A deep dive into the Gilded Rose - Barney Dellar [ C++ on Sea 2020 ]

My team recently spent some time working on the Gilded Rose kata. This is a small toy problem that allows you to practice your coding skills on a legacy system, but in a safe way. In the process of solving this problem, we learnt a lot and uncovered some great techniques for testing: Approval Tests, stubs and mocks, property testing, and much more. In this talk I’ll share our experiences, and let you know how you can try out these exercises yourself.
