Big Ball of Mud was published twenty years ago, and rings just as true today: the most prominent architecture in successful, growth-stage companies is non-architecture. Crisp patterns are slowly overgrown by the chaotic tendrils of quick fixes, and productivity creeps towards zero.

With fitness-function-driven development, we can write tests that measure a system’s alignment with architectural goals, similar to how we use test-driven development (TDD) to verify that features conform to desired business outcomes, Paula Paul and Rosemary Wang write in a blog post, describing the basic ideas of fitness functions and how architecture qualities can be verified.

Fitness functions can be a useful metaphor for guiding an emerging architecture, but you do have to invest in making sure they describe the right outcome.

Don't worry, this is not a post on getting in shape, getting track of your overall fitness, or anything like that. So nothing like this, no worries ;) : Fitness functions In this post, Fitness Functions are actually objective functions, used to summarize how close a prospective design solution is to achieving

Fitness function-driven development ensures your code has structured, sensible logging during the development process to provide the operability and debuggability required for a production application

The Chrome DevTools codebase is around 150,000 lines of first-party JavaScript, with some parts being over ten-years old. As with any large, legacy codebase, there are a range of challenges to navigate, whether it be testing, code style and consistency, or simply understanding what the code is doing! This session steps through how we plan, implement, and maintain code migrations in Chrome's DevTools.
