Refactoring and Extreme Programming - What is refactoring?

The classic definition of refactoring is:

  • "To change the form of a program without changing it's functionality".

This separates it substantially from the practice of rewriting, or re-engineering. The purpose of refactoring is to separate or combine parts of the program without affecting it's execution, with the goal of making it easier to understand and maintain.

"So far it has helped me in my tasks and I have only owned it for less than a day." - Rich Denis

"C# Refactory is more than a simple refactoring tool. The detailed metrics are a great help for locating complicated or lengthy code that needs to be refactored. What's more, the product team quickly answers support requests and welcomes suggestions. I am already looking forward to the upcoming versions, knowing that features, quality and performance are equally important to Xtreme Simplicity." -- Bernard Vander Beken

"The program does a great job. At last I have some of the refactoring functions I like so much in the java development environment (we use IntelliJ Idea) in Visual Studio. That's great because once you get used to these functions you never ever want to miss them ...
I also appreciate the speed in which you deliver new builds of the software. Everytime I wanted to write an email in which I describe a missbehaviour you were faster and the new build solved this problem.
Keep on that good work!" - Markus Renschler, csUnit developer

"Xtreme Simplicity have created a tool which drastically simplifies refactoring the architecture of any C# application through seamless integration with Visual Studio. CSharp Refactory statically analyzes our product to guarantee compilation success following a refactoring. In addition, Xtreme Simplicity thoughtfully provided a fully-featured metrics tool so we can watch our lines of code decrease as our architecture improves!" - Richard Birkby - Chief Architect, Thundermain Ltd.
