Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:
| 1 | <?php |
||
| 12 | final class DeriveHeaderStrategyTest extends TestCase |
||
| 13 | { |
||
| 14 | /** |
||
| 15 | * @test |
||
| 16 | * @covers ::getHeaders |
||
| 17 | */ |
||
| 18 | public function getHeaders() |
||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | /** |
||
| 30 | * @test |
||
| 31 | * @covers ::isHeaderRow |
||
| 32 | */ |
||
| 33 | View Code Duplication | public function rowIsHeaderRow() |
|
| 40 | |||
| 41 | /** |
||
| 42 | * @test |
||
| 43 | * @covers ::isHeaderRow |
||
| 44 | */ |
||
| 45 | View Code Duplication | public function rowNotIsHeaderRow() |
|
| 53 | |||
| 54 | View Code Duplication | private function getFileObject() : SplFileObject |
|
| 61 | } |
||
| 62 |
This check looks for variable assignements that are either overwritten by other assignments or where the variable is not used subsequently.
Both the
$myVarassignment in line 1 and the$higherassignment in line 2 are dead. The first because$myVaris never used and the second because$higheris always overwritten for every possible time line.
