Dear all future developers who may get stuck dealing with a couple of applications I’ve written over the past year or so.  I know that much future cursing at me is on the way.  Much to my regret, I confess I used repositories with Entity Framework Code-Firs<\/i>t.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n…and I didn’t just use one or two,  I added at least four or five — on top of a<\/i> BASE repository.  To make it worse, I even created a BaseController to deal with all this so that now I have inheriting controllers that have to deal with ramifications. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThe severity of the above could have been significantly reduced if I had written proper unit tests.  In one app, I actually DID write (improper — with very little mocking) unit tests first but because the tests now need to run on an independent build server, I have to suffer to re-write them quickly to meet a deadline but, the reality is, the apps need re-architecture.    <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI’m working on a prototype with better architecture  but that will probably not have time to go through the the whole integration testings, etc.  <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThanks @hoagieland<\/span><\/a> for your post<\/a>.  It might be a little extreme but with many valid points.<\/span><\/span>
