Overview of this book

Functional programming enables you to divide your software into smaller, reusable components that are easy to write, debug, and maintain. Combined with the power of C++, you can develop scalable and functional applications for modern software requirements. This book will help you discover the functional features in C++ 17 and C++ 20 to build enterprise-level applications. Starting with the fundamental building blocks of functional programming and how to use them in C++, you’ll explore functions, currying, and lambdas. As you advance, you’ll learn how to improve cohesion and delve into test-driven development, which will enable you in designing better software. In addition to this, the book covers architectural patterns such as event sourcing to help you get to grips with the importance of immutability for data storage. You’ll even understand how to “think in functions” and implement design patterns in a functional way. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to write faster and cleaner production code in C++ with the help of functional programming.

Property-based testing

Unit tests are an extremely useful software development technique. A good suite of unit tests can do the following:

  • Speed up deployments by automating the boring parts of regression testing.
  • Enable professional testers to find the hidden issues rather than running the same test plan again and again.
  • Remove bugs very early in the development process, thereby reducing the cost of finding and fixing them.
  • Improve the software design by providing feedback as a first client of the code structure (if tests are complicated, most likely your design is complicated), as long as the developers know how to see and interpret the feedback.
  • Increase the trust in the code, hence allowing for more changes, and thereby facilitating refactoring that speeds up development or removes risks from the code.

I love writing unit tests. I love figuring out the interesting test cases...
