In the process the 30 lines became another function with the effect to make it testable independently and also cleaning up the code since now both functions where only half a page long which makes the code much more readable. Also things get reusable this way. I could keep going on an arguing in favor of test driven development and design for testability. What struck me this morning was that I remembered a presentation where
