Code smells - just refactor

As we identified, agile development puts more demand to top quality source code than we (firmware developers) are used to. Actually agile development only makes the bad quality visible to larger crowds. This fact fairly quickly takes us searching for new practices like refactoring. You can find about it in Refactoring site, or better yet from Martin Fowler's book.

There is a nice table by Gene Garcia available as a summary of code smells and refactorings. Take a look, this stuff applies to firmware as well.
