   Martin Fowler (18 December 1963) is a British software developer, [2] author and international public speaker on software development, specialising in object-oriented analysis and design, UML, patterns, and agile software development methodologies, including extreme programming. His 1999 book Refactoring popularised the practice of code ...

3. Code refactoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_refactoring

   In computer programming and software design, code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing source code—changing the factoring—without changing its external behavior. Refactoring is intended to improve the design, structure, and/or implementation of the software (its non-functional attributes), while preserving its functionality.

4. Design smell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Smell

   In computer programming, a design smell is a structure in a design that indicates a violation of fundamental design principles, and which can negatively impact the project's quality. [1] The origin of the term can be traced to the term "code smell" which was featured in the book Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code by Martin ...

5. Software rot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot

   Refactoring is a means of addressing the problem of software rot. It is described as the process of rewriting existing code to improve its structure without affecting its external behaviour. [9] This includes removing dead code and rewriting sections that have been modified extensively and no longer work efficiently. Care must be taken not to ...

6. Code smell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_smell

   [1] [2] Determining what is and is not a code smell is subjective, and varies by language, developer, and development methodology. The term was popularized by Kent Beck on WardsWiki in the late 1990s. [3] Usage of the term increased after it was featured in the 1999 book Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code by Martin Fowler. [4]

7. Code Complete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Complete

   Code Complete is a software development book, written by Steve McConnell and published in 1993 by Microsoft Press, encouraging developers to continue past code-and-fix programming and the big design up front and waterfall models. It is also a compendium of software construction techniques, which include techniques from naming variables to ...

8. Rule of three (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

   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. The rule was popularised by Martin Fowler in Refactoring [1] and attributed to Don Roberts. Duplication is considered a bad practice in programming because it makes the code harder to ...

9. 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. Any change that does not alter the behavior of the software can be considered refactoring.
