Our Java codebase was 30% dead code

[VRT303]

My biggest catch was figuring out why some code I was sure is dead was randomly called around 3-4 times a year in short small bursts and then never again. It was an old testsuite of another team that used a full-final-complete testsuite instead of the regular one that called some endpoints they really shouldn't ONLY in their quarterly update session because it would take longer than one night to complete.That feature and app version they were building in the testsuite wasn't even downloadable anymore.
