Refactoring is the structural improvement of source code. The functional behavior of source code is retained.

Your wish to minimize the effort required for error analysis and the need to improve the following items may prompt you to refactor source code:

  • readability
  • understandability
  • maintenance
  • enhancement possibilities

Good support for automized refactoring of source code is a key part of test-driven development (TDD) and other advanced programming techniques. To this end, ABAP Development Tools (ADT) provides various refactoring functionalities.
