We've all experienced it. You inherit some piece of code and sooner or later you have to change it. However, whenever you touch it something else breaks. Being a responsible craftsperson, you decide to bite the bullet and finally get it under a test harness.
In this workshop we'll be playing around with dependency breaking techniques from Working effectively with legacy code. We'll also take a look at the golden master technique to break through the chicken-or-egg problem between adding tests and changing code in order to get really gnarly legacy code under test.
What you'll need: code for The Gilded Rose in your favorite legacy language + your editor/IDE of choice. Code coverage tooling would help. It also helps if your language has a port of Approval Tests.

@ouarzy already presented this @socratesuk, it is called HackYourTraining. We have made a first experience and I like to discuss the results with you and what could be the concept of this kind of marketplace (given we would like to avoid transaction costs, so it is NOT about creating our business model!)
