Should you always refactor code?
The best time to consider refactoring is before adding any updates or new features to existing code. Going back and cleaning up the current code before adding in new programming will not only improve the quality of the product itself, it will make it easier for future developers to build on the original code.

When to do a refactoring in a software update?
This is done when a developer notices the need for refactoring while adding a new feature, so it’s actually a part of a software update as opposed to a separate refactoring process. By noticing that the code needs to be updated at that moment, the developer is doing his or her part to reduce future technical debt.
