Pattern: Writing test code before refactoring #49
Description
Description
In the modern world of software development, refactoring can be seen as a fun and engaging task, especially with tools like GitHub Copilot at your disposal. It's so easy to dive in and make changes, but without proper tests, even the most promising code modification can lead to unexpected results. This pattern emphasizes the importance of writing tests before refactoring code to ensure that the functionality remains consistent. Think of tests as your safety net; they catch the problems before they become catastrophic.
