This is somewhat controversial topic, and I guess there is as many opinions as there are programmers. But for the sake of it, I want to know what are the common practices in business (or in your work places). In my work place we have a strict coding guidelines. One section of that is dedicated to magic strings/numbers. It states (for C#): There are exceptions: the values 0, 1 and null can nearly always be used safely. Very often the values 2 and -1 are OK as well.
A lot of questions about testing here... And I have another one. Forgive me, but I want to make sure I do this right. Let's say I have a front-end application, be it a mobile app, or a single-page website, or anything else. This app hits a REST service, that I also develop. This service in turn hits a range of other REST APIs and processes that data before returning the results to the app. I do not maintain these other REST APIs, I just use them.
