** WARNING! ** This repository will be rebased and force-pushed whenever there is a change to the (Level 1) ExpenseReport at https://github.com/christianhujer/expensereport
The ExpenseReport legacy code refactoring kata in various languages.
This is an example of a piece of legacy code with lots of code smells. The goal is to support the following new feature as best as you can:
- Add Lunch with an expense limit of 2000.
- Add JSON as an output format.
So you looked at the Expense Report code. And you knew you had to refactor it. But you didn't. You left it as it is.
Weeks later, you revisit the code, and notice that it's gotten worse. A colleague has added a new feature, output in HTML, without refactoring the code. It's a real mess. And you gotta work with it now.
- 📚 Read the code to understand what it does and how it works.
- 🦨 Read the code and check for design smells.
- 🧑🔬 Analyze what you would have to change to implement the new requirement without refactoring the code.
- 🧪 Write a characterization test. Take note of all design smells that you missed that made your life writing a test miserable.
- 🔧 Refactor the code.
- 🔧 Refactor the test.
- 👼 Test-drive the new features.
The ExpenseReport Level 2 kata currently exists in the following languages:
- Ada
- BASIC (Amiga BASIC, Commodore Amiga) ⇐ Quite amazing! First BASIC without line numbers!
- BASIC (Bywater BASIC, Linux) (very similar to Commodore BASIC)
- C
- C#
- C++
- Clojure ⇐ This one was particularly painful to intentionally write poorly, I almost cried.
- COBOL
- D
- Dart
- Elixir
- F#
- Fortran
- Groovy
- Haskell
- Java
- JavaScript
- Julia
- Kotlin
- Lisp (Common Lisp)

I first encountered the ExpenseReport example during a bootcamp at Equal Experts. I also have seen the ExpenseReport example being used by Robert "Uncle Bob" C. Martin. I have tried to research its origins but so far I have failed. If you know who has first come up with this example, please get in touch with me.
