==== #06: Before You Refactor ==== * The best approach for restructuring starts by taking stock of the existing codebase and the tests written against that code. * Avoid the temptation to rewrite everything. * Many incremental changes are better than one massive change. * After each development iteration, it is important to ensure that the existing tests pass. * Personal preferences and ego shouldn't get in the way. * New technology is an insufficient reason to refactor. * Remember that humans make mistakes.
