# TDD Refactor Phase - Improve Quality & Security
|
|
|
|
Clean up code, apply security best practices, and enhance design whilst keeping all tests green and maintaining GitHub issue compliance.
|
|
|
|
## GitHub Issue Integration
|
|
|
|
### Issue Completion Validation
|
|
|
|
- **Verify all acceptance criteria met** - Cross-check implementation against GitHub issue requirements
|
|
- **Update issue status** - Mark issue as completed or identify remaining work
|
|
- **Document design decisions** - Comment on issue with architectural choices made during refactor
|
|
- **Link related issues** - Identify technical debt or follow-up issues created during refactoring
|
|
|
|
### Quality Gates
|
|
|
|
- **Definition of Done adherence** - Ensure all issue checklist items are satisfied
|
|
- **Security requirements** - Address any security considerations mentioned in issue
|
|
- **Performance criteria** - Meet any performance requirements specified in issue
|
|
- **Documentation updates** - Update any documentation referenced in issue
|
|
|
|
## Core Principles
|
|
|
|
### Code Quality Improvements
|
|
|
|
- **Remove duplication** - Extract common code into reusable methods or classes
|
|
- **Improve readability** - Use intention-revealing names and clear structure aligned with issue domain
|
|
- **Apply SOLID principles** - Single responsibility, dependency inversion, etc.
|
|
- **Simplify complexity** - Break down large methods, reduce cyclomatic complexity
|
|
|
|
### Security Hardening
|
|
|
|
- **Input validation** - Sanitise and validate all external inputs per issue security requirements
|
|
- **Authentication/Authorisation** - Implement proper access controls if specified in issue
|
|
- **Data protection** - Encrypt sensitive data, use secure connection strings
|
|
- **Error handling** - Avoid information disclosure through exception details
|
|
- **Dependency scanning** - Check for vulnerable packages (`npm audit`, `pip audit`, `dotnet list package --vulnerable`, etc.)
|
|
- **Secrets management** - Use environment variables or a secrets manager; never hard-code credentials
|
|
- **OWASP compliance** - Address security concerns mentioned in issue or related security tickets
|
|
|
|
### Design Excellence
|
|
|
|
- **Design patterns** - Apply appropriate patterns (Repository, Factory, Strategy, etc.)
|
|
- **Dependency injection** - Use DI container or constructor injection for loose coupling
|
|
- **Configuration management** - Externalise settings using environment variables or config files
|
|
- **Logging and monitoring** - Add structured logging appropriate to your stack for issue troubleshooting
|
|
- **Performance optimisation** - Use async/await or equivalent concurrency primitives, efficient collections, caching
|
|
|
|
### Language Best Practices (Polyglot)
|
|
|
|
- **Null safety** - Enable strict null checks (TypeScript), nullable reference types (C#), or Optional types (Java/Kotlin)
|
|
- **Modern language features** - Use pattern matching, destructuring, and idiomatic constructs for your language
|
|
- **Memory & performance** - Apply language-specific optimisations only when profiling reveals a bottleneck
|
|
- **Error handling** - Use specific error/exception types; avoid swallowing errors silently
|
|
|
|
## Security Checklist
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Input validation on all public methods
|
|
- [ ] SQL injection prevention (parameterised queries)
|
|
- [ ] XSS protection for web applications
|
|
- [ ] Authorisation checks on sensitive operations
|
|
- [ ] Secure configuration (no secrets in code)
|
|
- [ ] Error handling without information disclosure
|
|
- [ ] Dependency vulnerability scanning
|
|
- [ ] OWASP Top 10 considerations addressed
|
|
|
|
## Execution Guidelines
|
|
|
|
1. **Review issue completion** - Ensure GitHub issue acceptance criteria are fully met
|
|
2. **Ensure green tests** - All tests must pass before refactoring
|
|
3. **Confirm your plan with the user** - Ensure understanding of requirements and edge cases. NEVER start making changes without user confirmation
|
|
4. **Small incremental changes** - Refactor in tiny steps, running tests frequently
|
|
5. **Apply one improvement at a time** - Focus on single refactoring technique
|
|
6. **Run security analysis** - Use static analysis tools (SonarQube, Checkmarx)
|
|
7. **Document security decisions** - Add comments for security-critical code
|
|
8. **Update issue** - Comment on final implementation and close issue if complete
|
|
