Inheriting someone else’s code is scary. It might be ugly, unreadable and the intentions are not always clear. Especially if there are no tests. How to deal with it? Characterization tests come to the rescue.
There is no doubt, that test coverage brings safety when refactoring or adding new features to code. However, legacy code tend to be untestable and often we’re stuck in a vicious circle were to test, we must refactor, and to refactor, we have to write tests.

In this session we will learn when and how to apply Golden Master and try to implement it ourselves.
