Working Effectively with Legacy Code Paperback – 1 January 1993

Amazing book. Must read after clean code books from uncle bob.

This book definitely improves your programming skills. The talk about unit testing and it's benefits is good. More often than not we work in projects or on software that's old. Not every development is Greenfield. In such cases we wonder how to implement our newly learnt unit test skills. That's where this book sits and tells you exactly what to do. Don't read this book as a fresher. Gain some experience, fight some legacy code, invent some techniques of your own. Then come here and you would appreciate the book.

Great work considering that the any code once written and is in the field can be considered Legacy. Book is applicable for all. Simple but great techniques discussed on how to break dependencies.

Very useful techniques based on immense experience author has gathered.

Very good book to learn how to avoid technical depth in legacy code

Amazing book, a bible for testing and testing strategy !
