Sure, refactoring is sometimes necessary. But refactoring also introduces new bugs often. Our code base is constantly being refactoring, and it's not more reliable, stuff is constantly breaking.
Tell me that you don't have a test suite without telling you don't have a test suite
Why are programmers so arrogant? They do have unit tests, and a dedicated test team. Refactoring can and does introduce bugs. It's a fact.
Frankly, if your test suite isn't catching 95% or more of the bugs, there's a problem with the test suite and if uat aren't catching 95% or more of the remainder, there's a problem with uat
