Complex classes like AbstractConditionViewHelper often do a lot of different things. To break such a class down, we need to identify a cohesive component within that class. A common approach to find such a component is to look for fields/methods that share the same prefixes, or suffixes. You can also have a look at the cohesion graph to spot any un-connected, or weakly-connected components.
Once you have determined the fields that belong together, you can apply the Extract Class refactoring. If the component makes sense as a sub-class, Extract Subclass is also a candidate, and is often faster.
While breaking up the class, it is a good idea to analyze how other classes use AbstractConditionViewHelper, and based on these observations, apply Extract Interface, too.

The code above will run fine in your PHP runtime. However, if you now create a sub-class and call the
getSomeVariable()on that sub-class, you will receive a runtime error:In the case above, it makes sense to update
