Code Grooming or Grooming Code refers to the process of cleaning up source code in a software application. The term describes editing the code in a way that makes it simpler to read, rather than adjusting the behavior of the application. This may include removal of unused blocks of code, addition of comments to difficult areas of code, or the changing of simple logic to make it more readable.
