KB Definition - Refactoring

Refactoring is "To evolve the composition of a subject without changing its tangible value.” - Amith Ellur

Code refactoring as stated by Martin Fowler is, “a change made to the internal structure of software to make it easier to understand and cheaper to modify without changing its observable behavior.” [Fowler, Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (Addison-Wesley, 1999)].
