This book illuminates the path to building the next generation of software. Author Scott L. Bain integrates the best of today's most important development disciplines into a unified, streamlined, realistic, and fully actionable approach to developing software. Drawing on patterns, refactoring, and test-driven development, Bain offers a blueprint for moving efficiently through the entire software lifecycle, smoothly managing change, and consistently delivering systems that are robust, reliable, and cost-effective.Emergent Design helps developers work with the flow, instead of against it. Bain introduces the principles & practices of emergent design, showing how to promote the natural evolution of software systems over time, making systems work better. Bain presents code examples and concludes with a project case study.This book provides developers, project leads, and testers powerful new ways to collaborate, achieve immediate goals, and build systems that improve in quality with each iteration.Coverage includes:- How to design software in a more natural, evolutionary, and professional way;- How to use the 'open-closed' principle to mitigate risks & eliminate waste;- How and when to test your design throughout the development process;- How to translate design principles into practices that actually lead to better code;- How to determine how much design is enough;- How refactoring can help you reduce over-design & manage change more effectively.See also the book's companion Web site.
