Umberehitustsüklid, often translated as refactoring cycles, are a systematic approach to improving the internal structure of existing software code without altering its external behavior. The core idea is to break down large, complex refactoring tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Each step aims to make a specific, localized improvement to the codebase, such as renaming a variable for clarity, extracting a method to reduce duplication, or reorganizing classes for better cohesion.

This iterative process allows developers to maintain a working system at all times. After each small change, the software is typically tested to ensure no new bugs have been introduced and that the original functionality remains intact. This continuous testing is crucial for building confidence in the refactoring process and preventing the accumulation of technical debt. By tackling refactoring in these cycles, teams can gradually enhance code quality, making it easier to understand, maintain, and extend in the future. It also facilitates collaboration by allowing different team members to contribute to the refactoring effort without significant disruption. This methodical approach contrasts with large, risky "big bang" refactorings, promoting a safer and more sustainable development workflow.
