Best practices for clean functions include keeping them small, ensuring they do one thing, maintaining a single level of abstraction, and applying robust object-oriented principles for error handling.

Identify code smells during a code review by checking for violations of clean code principles, looking for complex functions, poor naming, and improper error handling to guide refactoring efforts.

Yes, this approach applies to object-oriented programming and unit testing by enforcing design principles, proper formatting, and best practices to ensure high-quality, readable, and maintainable software.

You should refactor software to follow clean code principles when code reviews reveal complex functions, poor readability, maintainability issues, or violations in naming, formatting, and error handling best practices.
