<p>One piece of criteria for whether some software is good is whether it's easy to write automated tests for.</p>
<p>I recently worked on a method that was more than 150 lines.</p>
<p>It was difficult to understand, had too many responsibilities and didn't use dependency injection.</p>
<p>This made it difficult to test.</p>
<p>If it was split into several smaller methods or classes, each could be responsible for different aspects and have clear responsibilities.</p>
<p>Each new method or class could have its own tests to verify its own functionality works.</p>
<p>It would be easy to understand and identify and fix any issues.</p>
<p>If dependency injection was used, things can be mocked or changed as needed to make the logic testable.</p>
<p>If everything is in one large function, the code isn't testable.</p>
<p>Even if it works now, it will be difficult to change in the future.</p>
