Name Fussiness Again

Why in the soapbox? Anyway, name the common elements something (ie BradysFormat) and then call it a Writer as in BradyFormatWriter.

I got carried away on an architecture joy-ride way off scope. The objects I'm making actually control the export engines in a test environment, so I've gone with ExportTesterBase, ExportWizard5_2Tester, NewExportEngineTester etc. I've been told to test the exports first, manually if necessary, before spending too much time on this elaborate trickster of a test framework. I can return to this monster and do some nice, zen like and asthetic refactoring once I've done the tests.

Why not put 'em all in a namespace? Name it ExportEngines, and then leave both of those words out of the actual class names, which can then reflect what actually distinguishes them from each other.

Nah, I "filed" it :)

One of my libraries has a class called ExtractEngine. All the data buffer and file handling methods reside there. I couldn't think of a better name. :)

I am designing a set of objects that perform the same data export task, but differ in versions, or implementation. They share fixed, common aspects I think fit well in a base class. I'm having trouble naming these objects; the best I've got so far is ExportEngine, Exporter just doesn't seem right. Any suggestions?

I would call it 'i'. Unless that conflicts with another class - then I would call it 'ii' or maybe 'j'. These names have served me in good stead since at least the early 80's. :-D

And for bi-directional (and a more "organic") data transfer: PushMePullYou[^] :-O ["PushMePullMe"]

Shouldn't that be PushMePullYou[^]?

Sounds like you need an ExporterFactory, or possibly an ExporterProvider and ExporterProviderBase.

I was thinking of sending one out - did you write one already?

Yes, i posted it in The Lounge last night. A Soapboxy rant, full of rambling stories, dubious correlations, and tales of substance abuse. :-\

'John'is always a good startng point. You can develope from this 'big John', 'fat John' and so on describing objects with names that, even if they dont describe exactly what their function is, do at least make them familiar, which is half the battle.

Thanks Pete, I think I'll go with ExportTestProvider, as the class uses an Export class to perform test exports.
