  • How Functional Programming Can Help You Write Efficient, Elegant Web Applications

    Many things can make software more challenging to understand and, consequently, to maintain. One of the most complex and problematic causes is managing internal mutable states. When the internal state is poorly managed, the software behaves unexpectedly, leading to bugs and fixing, which introduces unnecessary complexity. FP solves this problem by providing immutability mechanisms and more.

    One important design principle in software development is DRY – Don’t Repeat Yourself. However, when DRY is applied to test code, it can cause the test suite to become brittle — difficult to understand, maintain, and change. In this article, I will present some indications that a test suite is brittle, guidelines to follow when reducing duplication in tests, and better ways to DRY up tests.
