"Refactoring Doesn't Improve Code Quality"

Hoang mang quá :)

(Study finds that)

"Refactoring Doesn't Improve Code Quality":
- "here is no quality improvement after refactoring treatment to the source code"
- So, what are the impacts of source code refactoring?
- It is said the source code refactoring improves maintainability and extensibility - two aspects of quality but how about the general quality?

- Do the authors of this paper understand what is source code refactoring???
