How do I generate a refactoring plan for technical debt?▼

A refactoring plan for technical debt is generated by analyzing the code and creating a step-by-step TDD-based plan. This approach ensures code quality by outlining tests, refactoring, and verification.

What is TDD-based refactoring?▼

TDD-based refactoring is an approach that integrates Test-Driven Development into code cleanup. It involves writing tests, confirming failures, refactoring the code, and verifying the results to systematically improve architecture and reduce technical debt.

How do I plan code cleanup for a complex module?▼

You can plan code cleanup for a complex module by generating an automated, step-by-step refactoring plan. This plan handles structural changes and quality enhancements systematically using TDD principles to ensure safety.

Does this refactoring planner execute code changes?▼

No, this refactoring planner does not execute code changes. It only produces a detailed plan for code improvements and structural changes; you must pair it with a plan-executor tool to implement the actual modifications.

When do I need a TDD refactoring plan?▼
