Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code, by Fowler et al, Addison-Wesley, 1999. Most of them were based on existing code. For instance, RTL refactoring can be used to abstract and understand a design [6], prepare a design for other purposes such as validation or elastization [2], optimize a design for specific tools such as synthesis or to simply improve the design of existing code [3]. I got curious and downloaded its Eclipse plugin, I then picked the first bad smell code which Martin Fowler explains in his book: “Refactoring: Improving the design of existing code”. In my career, a very little portion of the projects I was involved with were based on new code. The basic approach involved improving your code's running time by limiting the amount of memory space the program uses. Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code ▻ 04/11 - 04/18 (6). But good design is critical to the long-term maintainability of code, and generally speaking, developers are taught to deliver large, up-front designs that consider the 'big picture', not just the features being added. Refactoring is about improving the design of existing code. It 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. However, in this new paradigm it isn't that design is ignored, but rather, the design This includes major refactoring tasks [11, 10], and helps to support continually improving the design. Refactoring is defined as a disciplined technique for restructuring an existing body of code, altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior. [3, 4] In his book on refactoring . Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code by Martin Fowler, Kent Beck, John Brant, William Opdyke and Don Roberts. Design Patterns by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides. Facing an existing project, you sometimes get confronted with “code that smells”. 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 improve its internal structure.
