Implication of Code Refactoring in Optimizing Software Security

Abstract

In this research article the researcher has assessed the significance of code refactoring in optimizing the software security. It is essential for the developers to ensure that the security attributes have been addressed while developing software. It can assist the developers to detect the problems within the software that may impose several burdens in future. Apart from that, it also assists in sabotaging the risk factors through providing excellent design which can prevent the threat of any such malware. Moreover, the study has incorporated a secondary method of data collection. In this context, the result of the study has highlighted that the inception of code refactoring is highly recommended in optimizing software security.
