Each transformation called a refactoring does little , but a sequence of these transformations can produce a significant restructuring . Since each refactoring is small , it's less likely to go wrong . The system is kept fully working after each refactoring , reducing the chances that a system can get seriously

But eventually these branches have to be merged back together , and many teams spend an inordinate amount of time coping with their tangled thicket of branches . There are several patterns that can allow teams to use branching effectively , concentrating around integrating the work of multiple developers and organizing the path to production

Scaling frontend development so that many teams can work simultaneously on a large and complex product is even harder . In this article we'll describe a recent trend of breaking up frontend monoliths into many smaller , more manageable pieces , and how this architecture can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of teams working on frontend code . As well as talking about the various benefits and costs , we'll cover some of the implementation

This is particulary valuable when doing functional testing of an application : when you want to test end-to-end behavior , but it's difficult to test through the UI itself . Subcutaneous testing can avoid difficulties with hard-to-test presentation technologies and usually is much faster than testing through the UI . The big danger is that , unless you are a firm

Usually the pressure to deliver functionality dominates the discussion , leading many developers to complain that they don't have time to work on architecture and code quality . This debate is based on the assumption that increasing quality also increases costs , which is our common
