Abstract
In this paper, we describe patterns that can be used to find ways to integrate refactoring into everyday work in a software project. They are a part of a larger refactoring patterns pattern collection. We introduce the pattern collection and the background and describe three patterns in detail. Revision control logging pattern helps to maintain the rationale of the refactoring operations and separates refactoring from, for instance, feature development and bug fixes. Embed small refactorings encourages you to do the minor tweaks, fixes, and changes during your daily routines. Finally, Establish safety net guides you to setup unit tests and revision control before starting refactoring.
