Q.
Why is it important to focus refactoring efforts toward code files with the highest risk ?
Correct Answer: D
Andres Ornelas, Web DevOps lead at Twitter, points out from Twitter's own experience that the effort involved in code refactoring can pull resources from feature work that can create new value and opportunities for the business, making it hard to prioritize, estimate, and set goals around code refactoring because most of the benefits are intangible. That's what makes it so important to calculate the risk of modifying each code file and focus on refactoring files with the highest risk.
