What is Refactoring?

Refactoring is the process of changing a software system in such a way that it does not alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure. And it makes software easier to understand.

  • rewriting code
  • fixing bugs
  • Changing functionality
  • improve observable aspects of software such as its interface
