1 |
Identify Complexity |
- When functionality is added, look for areas of code that increase architectural complexity.
- Identify the appropriate refactoring to reduce the complexity while keeping the semantics of the code the same.
- Identify and run the database unit tests for the area to be refactored.
|
|
2 |
Apply Refactoring |
- Apply the refactoring, one at a time. Change the code and all the references to the changed area as necessary.
- If methods (stored procedures, functions, triggers) are too complex, it may be necessary to break up a method into a set of new methods.

3 |
Build Database Project |
- Build the database project.
- Review and fix any build errors identified.
|
|
4 |
Deploy Database Project to Sandbox Server |
- Deploy database project to sandbox server.
- Ensure deployment is successful by browsing deployed database.
|
|
5 |
Perform Database Unit Tests |
- Perform unit tests so the area remains semantically equivalent after the refactoring.
- Fix any nonworking unit tests that have not been correctly updated or refactored.
