2. Design Re-Factor (Complex)

...

A design re-factor is something significant so it would be good to share any proposal with the community for feedback and comments. Jira could be used and if there is a lot of concern regarding the change a branch could be created to verify the change before it is merged back

Re-factoring Impact on Applications

Ron raised the point that any re-factoring that impacts the applications could cause problems for current users. Although the re-factor would not change any of the existing functionality, it could potentially change the way applications interface to a class or interface.

There was a detailed discussion around how this could be handled. The re-factoring will at some point impact the applications. We will need to document the impact and publish information for people wanting to use the re-factored code. We also need to keep the rate of change under control so that we can address and fix any issues that come up.

Depending on the changes required and the impact this could be either straightforward or complex so would need to be assessed on a case by case basis.
