-00:00:00,088 --> 00:00:02,860

-Now I want to conclude this discussion on refactoring by telling you

-

-2

-00:00:02,860 --> 00:00:07,190

-when you should not refactor. One first clear case is when

-

-3

-00:00:07,190 --> 00:00:10,410

-your code is broken. I want to make it very clear, refactoring

-

-4

-00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:13,450

-is not a way to fix your code in terms of its

-

-5

-00:00:13,450 --> 00:00:16,250

-functionality. It's a way to improve the design of your code.

-

-6

-00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:19,040

-So if your code does not compile or does not run

-

-7

-00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,780

-in a stable way, it's probably better to throw it away

-

-8

-00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:25,250

-and rewrite it rather then trying to refactor it. By definition refactoring

-

-9

-00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:26,780

-should maintain the functionality of the

-

-10

-00:00:26,780 --> 00:00:28,360

-system. It should be behavior preserving.

-

-11

-00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,100

-So if the code was broken before, it, it's probably going to be broken

-

-12

-00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:33,950

-afterwards as well. You may also want to avoid refactoring when a

-

-13

-00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:37,370

-deadline is close. Well, first of all, because refactoring might take a long

-

-14

-00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:41,360

-time and therefore might introduce risks of being late for the deadline.

-

-15

-00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,555

-And also, because of what we said before about introducing problems, you don't

-

-16

-00:00:44,555 --> 00:00:47,780

-want to introduce problems that might take you time to fix right before a

-

-17

-00:00:47,780 --> 00:00:50,660

-deadline. So if the deadline is too close, you might want to avoid

-

-18

-00:00:50,660 --> 00:00:54,310

-refactoring the code at that point. And finally, do not refactor if there

-

-19

-00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:58,430

-is no reason to. As we said before, you should refactor on demand. You

-

-20

-00:00:58,430 --> 00:01:00,960

-see a problem with the design of your code, with the structure of your

-

-21

-00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,790

-code, it's okay to refactor. If the code is fine, there is no reason

-

-22

-00:01:03,790 --> 00:01:06,470

-to refactor. I know that refactoring is fine, but you don't want to do

-

-23

-00:01:06,470 --> 00:01:09,280

-it all the time. The next thing I want to discuss, after discussing when

-

-24

-00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,970

-not to refactor, is when to refactor without an indication that will tell us

-

-25

-00:01:12,970 --> 00:01:15,820

-that it's time to refactor the code. And that leads us to the discussion

-

-26

-00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:17,280

-of a very interesting concept.
