Also known as: code refactor, cleanup without feature change

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

Refactoring improves code structure and readability without changing what the software is supposed to do — making future changes safer.

Real-World Example

Renaming unclear variables and splitting a huge function into smaller ones is refactoring when behavior stays the same.
