Gilded Rose Requirements Specification

Hi and welcome to team Gilded Rose. As you know, we are a small inn with a prime location in a prominent city ran by a friendly innkeeper named Allison. We also buy and sell only the finest goods.

Unfortunately, our goods are constantly degrading in quality as they approach their sell by date. We have a system in place that updates our inventory for us. It was developed by a no-nonsense type named Leeroy, who has moved on to new adventures. Your task is to add the new feature to our system so that we can begin selling a new category of items.

First an introduction to our system:

• All items have a SellIn value which denotes the number of days we have to sell the item
• All items have a Quality value which denotes how valuable the item is
• At the end of each day our system lowers both values for every item

Pretty simple, right? Well this is where it gets interesting:

• Once the sell by date has passed, Quality degrades twice as fast
• The Quality of an item is never negative
• Aged Brie actually increases in Quality the older it gets
• The Quality of an item is never more than 50
• Sulfuras, being a legendary item, never has to be sold or decreases in Quality
• Backstage passes, like aged brie, increases in Quality as its SellIn value approaches; Quality increases by 2 when there are 10 days or less and by 3 when there are 5 days or less but Quality drops to 0 after the concert

We have recently signed a supplier of conjured items. This requires an update to our system:

• "Conjured" items degrade in Quality twice as fast as normal items

Feel free to make any changes to the UpdateQuality method and add any new code as long as everything still works correctly. However, do not alter the Item class or Items property as those belong to the goblin in the corner who will insta-rage and one-shot you as he doesn't believe in shared code ownership.

Just for clarification, an item can never have its Quality increase above 50, however "Sulfuras" is a legendary item and as such its Quality is 80 and it never alters.

TASK

1. Fork this repo
2. Refactor as you see fit
3. Submit a pull request or email a link to your repo before the scheduled interview time

additional rules

• the business rules of the refactored code (as defined above) must be consistent
• the class Item should not be modified (you can move it to a different file if you want, just make sure not to change the class itself)
• the file texttest_fixture.py should not be modified
• the output texttest_fixture.py must be consistent

sample output when run >python texttest_fixture.py 5 :

This exercise is meant to illustrate your thought process on how you organize your code in a team setting. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to do this. Have fun!
