Improving your C# Skills

By: Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan, John Callaway, Clayton Hunt, Rod Stephens

Overview of this book

This Learning Path shows you how to create high performing applications and solve programming challenges using a wide range of C# features. You’ll begin by learning how to identify the bottlenecks in writing programs, highlight common performance pitfalls, and apply strategies to detect and resolve these issues early. You'll also study the importance of micro-services architecture for building fast applications and implementing resiliency and security in .NET Core. Then, you'll study the importance of defining and testing boundaries, abstracting away third-party code, and working with different types of test double, such as spies, mocks, and fakes. In addition to describing programming trade-offs, this Learning Path will also help you build a useful toolkit of techniques, including value caching, statistical analysis, and geometric algorithms. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 High Performance by Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan • Practical Test-Driven Development using C# 7 by John Callaway, Clayton Hunt • The Modern C# Challenge by Rod Stephens

Chapter 12. Changes in Requirements

As progress is made on any application, new and different requirements will likely be added. Sometimes these requirements enhance the existing functionality of the application. At other times, these new requirements may conflict with the existing functionalities. When requirements conflict, it's important that issues are resolved so that the proper functionality can be built.

So, what are the changes in requirements you might expect to see? Changes often consist of alterations to a business rule, new features or enhancements, or modifications needed to resolve a bug or defect discovered in the system.

As time goes on, there will often be a need to modify an existing business rule. This may be in response to user feedback, clarification from the business, or a need discovered through use of the system. When the need for change is discovered, then the existing application will need to change. A comprehensive test suite will ensure that the rest of the system...
