Oftentimes I am called into a project that is adding new features to an existing application. While a lot of updates seem easy on the surface (I’m just adding a basic page that saves the user’s e-mail address), the underlying architecture of the system can make this rather complex. The shocking thing is that a lot of times the complexity isn’t immediatley discoverable. To help identify and estimate the work needed for a new feature, I’ve devised what I like to call “the hot sauce test.”
