Refactoring: Techniques for Software Evolution

Software systems are constantly evolving – fixing bugs, adding new features, and adapting existing code for new applications. There is a lot of ugly code out there, and software developers need to be armed with good tools and techniques for improving the large base of legacy code. Refactoring is an important code evolution tool: refactoring is the process of making small, behavior-preserving modifications to a large code base. This talk will focus on how and why to refactor.
