To refactor code without breaking functionality, you need passing test coverage as a prerequisite and make incremental structural changes one at a time, preserving behavior while improving readability and maintainability.
Improving code maintainability involves systematic refactoring using techniques like extract function, rename, and move method to enhance code design incrementally, reducing technical debt without altering functional output.
Yes, test coverage is a prerequisite for safe refactoring. Passing tests must exist before making structural changes to ensure the code's functional output remains intact throughout the workflow.
To extract validation logic, apply the extract function technique to move the validation code into a new, separate function, making incremental changes while ensuring tests pass to preserve existing behavior.
You should avoid refactoring for code readability when you lack sufficient test coverage, as passing tests are required to verify that structural changes preserve the code's existing functional behavior.
