Improve code quality, apply best practices, and enhance design whilst maintaining green tests. Use after tests pass and the code needs cleanup, or when code smells need addressing, without changing behavior.
Describe the code you want improved and initiate a safe, incremental refactor pass to reduce duplication and improve design while preserving behavior.

To refactor safely after tests pass, apply incremental changes to your codebase while continuously verifying tests stay green. This removes duplication and improves readability without altering behavior or public APIs.
The best way to apply SOLID principles during a TDD cycle is to refactor immediately after tests pass. This improves modularity and testability by incrementally simplifying large classes and long methods without changing functionality.
Code cleanup in a test-driven development workflow should be performed after tests pass and the code needs design improvements. It addresses code smells and duplication incrementally while ensuring the existing behavior remains unchanged.
Yes, incremental refactoring preserves public APIs in production codebases. It applies safe techniques to modify internal structures, simplify methods, and update inline documentation without exposing breaking changes to external consumers.
Yes, you can remove code duplication while keeping your test suite green by executing small, incremental refactoring passes. These passes simplify long methods and large classes while continuously validating that behavior remains unchanged.
