There are many reasons why it may make good business sense to refactor existing code. For example, if the code is:
- Not extensible
- Buggy
- Poorly structured
- Hard to read, understand and maintain
- Does not follow a desired architecture or programming paradigm
- Contains duplicate or unused code thereby unnecessarily increasing amount of code that must be maintained
When you contract Magpie to refactor your code, you will benefit from Magpie’s:
- Experience with software engineering best practices
- Rigorous process of writing tests before refactoring code to ensure that pre-existing capabilities still work after refactoring
- Emphasis on readability
- System engineering methods to understand current functionality and use cases
- Use of tools to understand the current code and find “code smells”
- Agile approach to incremental changes
