The process of code refactoring can result in stepwise reductions in software entropy.

By re-running the test cases, the developer can be confident that code refactoring is not damaging any existing functionality.

As they evolve, they grow more complex unless some action such as code refactoring is taken to reduce the complexity.

Model refactoring like code refactoring is the disciplined technique used for modifying or improving an existing model.

Since the opening of the source, Blender has experienced significant Code refactoring of the initial codebase and major additions to its feature set.

Finally, code refactoring is safer; transforming the code into a simpler form with less code duplication, but equivalent behavior, is much less likely to introduce new defects.

A large code refactoring allowed the Source engine to take advantage of multiple CPU cores on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Code refactoring is a "disciplined technique for restructuring an existing body of code, altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior", undertaken in order to improve some of the nonfunctional attributes of the software.
