I'd recommend everybody in the YaST team to read Working Effectively with Legacy Code [1]. It deals exactly with the scenario you are facing (lots of untested and sometimes poorly understood code which you need to make changes in and tame it over time). It contains a lot of helpful techniques, tips, and it challenges the way you think about code and its architecture. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I have that on my Kindle (with DRM from Amazon), you all can come browse it. Thanks for a reminder to finish the book. -- Martin Vidner, Cloud & Systems Management Team http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu
