In my definitions, I use the phrase “observable behavior.” This is a deliberately loose term, indicating that the code should, overall, do just the same things it did before I started. It doesn’t mean it will work exactly the same—for example, Extract Function (106) will alter the call stack, so performance characteristics might change—but nothing should change that the user should care about.
