Re: [platform-ui-dev] Deleting code
|
What about tests written for methods that are never called in
production? Not sure how much dead code this procedure will find,
especially once developers learn if they don't write a test for a method
it will be deleted the next day. ;-}

Better idea: do automated code-coverage, based on the test suite runs.
Remove the methods that were not executed.

RE: [platform-ui-dev] Deleting code
I have an idea: Create a tool that would delete all the methods listed
by your plug-in in a copy of the source, then try to compile run the
unit tests and see what happens. Put back any that are actually used and
repeat until the tests pass.
