  2. Code refactoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_refactoring

    Refactoring is usually motivated by noticing a code smell. [2] For example, the method at hand may be very long, or it may be a near duplicate of another nearby method. Once recognized, such problems can be addressed by refactoring the source code, or transforming it into a new form that behaves the same as before but that no longer "smells".

  3. Rule of three (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(computer...

    Rule of three ("Three strikes and you refactor") is a code refactoring rule of thumb to decide when similar pieces of code should be refactored to avoid duplication. It states that two instances of similar code do not require refactoring, but when similar code is used three times, it should be extracted into a new procedure.

  4. Code smell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_smell

    Thus, a code smell is a driver for refactoring. Factors such as the understandability of code, how easy it is to be modified, the ease in which it can be enhanced to support functional changes, the code's ability to be reused in different settings, how testable the code is, and code reliability are factors that can be used to identify code ...

  5. Test-driven development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development

    Code is refactored for readability and maintainability. In particular, hard-coded test data should be removed from the production code. Running the test suite after each refactor ensures that no existing functionality is broken. Examples of refactoring: moving code to where it most logically belongs; removing duplicate code; making names self ...

  6. Code cleanup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_cleanup

    Code cleanup refers to the act of writing so that it cleans up leftover and other unwanted materials from memory and the filesystem. It is sometimes treated as a synonym of refactoring code, which involves making the source code itself easier to understand, maintain, and modify.

  7. Data clump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_clump

    This beckons as another opportunity for refactoring to be used in order to improve the quality of the code. Refactoring to eliminate data clumps does not need to be done by hand. Many modern fully featured IDEs have functionality (often labeled as "Extract Class") that is capable of performing this refactoring automatically or nearly so. This ...

  8. Coding conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_conventions

    Refactoring refers to a software maintenance activity where source code is modified to improve readability or improve its structure. Software is often refactored to bring it into conformance with a team's stated coding standards after its initial release.

  9. Don't repeat yourself - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself

    "Don't repeat yourself" (DRY), also known as "duplication is evil", is a principle of software development aimed at reducing repetition of information which is likely to change, replacing it with abstractions that are less likely to change, or using data normalization which avoids redundancy in the first place.
