Refactoring is improving the internal structure of code without changing its behavior. This visual guide covers code smells, common refactorings, why tests matter, and how to refactor safely and incrementally.
Improving code structure without changing behavior.
Keep code readable and easy to change.
Refactoring never adds features or fixes bugs.
Signs that code needs improvement.
Break them into smaller pieces.
Extract shared logic.
Split responsibilities.
Rename for clarity.
Use early returns and guard clauses.
Shortcuts that cost more later.
Tests make refactoring safe.
Pull code into a named function.
Name an expression for clarity.
Simplify and clarify.
Refactor incrementally, test often.
Improve gradually instead of starting over.
Before adding features to messy code.
Leave code cleaner than you found it.
IDEs automate safe refactorings.
Add tests, then clean up one smell at a time.
