According to Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (by Martin Fowler, Kent Beck, John Brant, William Opdyke, Don Roberts p.87), there are two ways to solve it. In the book Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code, we "refactor" code to make it better. Refactoring has been described as "the art of safely improving the design of existing code" (Martin Fowler, see refs). In addition to creating a design and coding it, you can now analyze the design of existing code and improve it. Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code 重構：改善既有程式的設計. Refactoring does not involve adding new features. Usage of the term increased after it was featured in Refactoring. Now you can dramatically improve the design, performance, and manageability of object-oriented code without altering its interfaces or behavior. When you find you have to add a feature to a program, and the program's code is not structured in a convenient way to add the feature, first refactor the program to make it easy to add the feature, then add the feature. Improving the Design of Existing Code. This page reviews the book Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code by Martin Fowler. Refactoring is thus a process of software source code transformation.
