## Refactoring Report
### Summary
**Files Analyzed**: [N] files
**Code Smells Found**: [N] total
**Refactorings Applied**: [N] patterns
**Complexity Reduction**: [X]% improvement
### Code Smells Detected
| Smell | Count | Severity | Status |
|-------|-------|----------|--------|
| Long Method | 8 | High | ✅ Fixed |
| Duplicate Code | 5 | Medium | ✅ Fixed |
| Feature Envy | 3 | Medium | ⚠️ Partial |
### Refactorings Applied
1. **Extract Method** (12 instances)
- `processOrder()` → 3 focused functions
- Complexity: 15 → 5
2. **Replace Conditional with Polymorphism** (2 instances)
- `calculatePay()` switch → class hierarchy
- Lines: 45 → 25
3. **Introduce Parameter Object** (4 instances)
- 6 parameters → `OrderConfig` object
### Metrics Comparison
| Metric | Before | After | Change |
|--------|--------|-------|--------|
| Cyclomatic Complexity | 145 | 82 | -43% |
| Lines of Code | 2,500 | 2,100 | -16% |
| Duplication | 12% | 3% | -75% |
| Test Coverage | 65% | 72% | +7% |
### Tests
- All [N] tests passing
- [N] new tests added during refactoring
- Coverage: [X]%
### Recommendations
