Refactoring: parameterize constructor

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

In legacy code you may find classes with constructor where some objects are created and initialized. These classes are not easily testable because they depend on other classes and therefore when you unit test these classes they may also throw exceptions of classes they depend on. In these cases we can use parameterize constructor refactoring.

I like doing things like this with constructor chaining...

(Mailer implements IMailer)

public class MassMailer
{
private IMailer mailer;
public MassMailer():this(new Mailer()){}
public MassMailer(IMailer mailer)
{
this.mailer = mailer;
}
}
