Refactoring

Definition of Refactoring as it relates to Software, Software Testing, Regression Testing

Refactoring, as part of Regression Testing within Software Testing and Software more broadly, refers to the process of restructuring existing computer code without changing its external behavior. The primary goal is to improve nonfunctional attributes of the software, such as readability and maintainability. It often involves simplifying complex code structures, removing redundancies, and making code more modular. By doing so, regression tests can be performed more efficiently, and the overall quality of the software is enhanced. This process plays a crucial role in ensuring that modifications made to the software do not unintentionally introduce new bugs or negatively impact existing functionality.
