What is Work Breakdown?
Updated 2 years ago
LinearB divides work (code changes) into 3 categories:
New work - New work is brand new code that has been added to the code base.
Refactor - Refactored work represents changes to legacy code. LinearB considers code "legacy" if it has been in your code-base for over 21 days.
- Some degree of refactored code is acceptable and even required for improving systems quality.
- A large amount of refactoring in a single release is not recommended, as these changes have a higher probability of harming existing functionality.
Rework - Reworked code is relatively new code that is modified in a branch. LinearB considers any changes to code that has been in your code-base for less than 21 days as reworked code.
- High levels of reworked code could indicate a quality issue in recent releases.
