Codebase Resurrection: Revive and Refactor with AI

The blog discusses how CodiumAI's Codiumate can streamline the refactoring process using AI as a pair-programmer to enhance developer efficiency and optimize code maintenance in real-world situations. It highlights the challenges of refactoring, particularly in large or legacy systems where code complexity and technical debt are deeply entrenched. The blog also presents a case study on refactoring a "profile component" using Codiumate, emphasizing the importance of end-to-end functional testing, AI-driven refactoring suggestions, assisted code changes, and unit testing. It concludes by reinforcing that while AI tools provide valuable insights and suggestions, developers must use their knowledge and understanding to make informed decisions.
