  • Abstract
    According to the changes that were made to existing software the quality of the code is known to impair in quality, which is complex for editing or adding new changes in future. In real when the changes that are done to the existing code it may not be optimal. Refactoring is a recognized solution for deteriorating code, and by implementing it the future changes to the code base will be easier. Refactoring is largely practiced by experienced developers in the industry wide. As there is still some reluctance with the management to support it, because it is not a productive effort as no behavior is added or altered. The code is merely reshaped so why not spend that effort on doing something productive instead? In this paper we have conducted an experiment to make even the most narrow-minded manager a spokesman for the use of refactoring.
