# Video: (part 8 - The big Refactoring) TDD Pairing a Go Game Engine

By Roy Osherove July 12, 2012 In [Unit Testing](https://osherove.com/blog/category/unit-testing), [video](https://osherove.com/blog/category/video)

**Historical article** · Originally published July 12, 2012; technical details may be outdated.

In this video (all the [sessions are here](http://artofunittesting.com/)), Raymond and I do a refactoring of the code, to something we like much more. We end up with code we can be more proud of, and the comtinued feedback of the tests helps us do this in small, secure steps.

This is what refactoring should always feel like.
