Refactoring is something that should be constantly done in a code base, for every story. As soon as people get scared about changing things the codebase is on the road to being legacy.

Only if the code base is well tested.

Edit: always add tests when you change code that doesnโ€™t have tests.

And also try to make tests that don't have to change if you refactor in future (although there are some exceptions)
