Duplicate Code
Pattern
Form Template Method
Polymorphic creation with
factory method
Chaining Constructor
Replace One/many
distinction with Composite
Extract Composite
Unify Interfaces with Adaptor
Introduce Null Object
Long Method
Pattern
Composed Method
Replace Conditional
Dispatcher with Command
Move accumulator to Visitor
Replace conditional logic with
Strategy
Description
Remove explicit or subtle duplication in sub classes of hierarchy.
If a method in sub classes is implemented similarly except object
creation.
When constructor of classes contain duplicate code
Separate code processing of single object or collection of objects
If sub classes of hierarchy each implement their own composite and
implementation may be identical.
If code process objects differently merely because they have different
interfaces
If you have conditional logic to deal with an object when object is null
and same null logic is duplicated throughout the system.
Description
This involves extract method.
If method contain long switch statement for dispatching and handling
requests.
If method contains switch statements to gather data from numerous
classes with different interfaces.
If method contains numerous version of algorithm and conditional logic
to choose different versions at runtime.
