• Workshop name: Legacy Code Workshop
  • Course code: BLUE-1
  • Workshop days: 2.0
  • Your workshop: The workshop was very disorganized. The portions where we all worked on one piece of code as a large group were very slow since most of us had never seen the code before and didn't know how it worked. There were also some show-and-tell times when we looked at test cases written for existing code, which I didn't really get anything out of because I didn't know what the code was supposed to do or how it worked. The one section where we broke into small groups to bring legacy code under test was ok, but I didn't feel like my group got very far because we didn't have a very clear path for testing.
  • Better prepared: A little
  • How to improve: I think this would have been much better if the managers/class organizers had picked what code we would work on before the class and told us before hand so we could review it to get a little more understanding. Also, I think we should have spent more time in small groups and less as one large group all working on one thing.
