Changing Old Code

« on: April 01, 2006, 01:12:14 PM »

I decided to parameterize RoutePath in PS6 (it was not parameterized before). Do I need to go back and change its specs? In general, if we change code from PS2-4, do we need to change the specs accordingly (I'm talking about student-provided classes)?

As a general software engineering practice, Your specs shold always match your code. In fact, if you plan to refactor things in such a way that the spec will have to change, you shold rewrite the spec first, so you will always be coding to spec.

Yes, you must make any applicable changes to any specs you need to change.
