Refactoring Tests: Refactoring Unit Tests to Align with New Code\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Refactoring refers to the process of restructuring existing code without changing its external behavior.

Here are the steps:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch4>Why Refactor Unit Tests?\u003C\u002Fh4>\u003Cp>When changes are made to code that affect the function or method being tested, the existing tests may no longer adequately verify the correctness or may fail to test the updated code efficiently.
