"Code Refactoring"

Does making a minor change in one section of codebase break unrelated functionality in another part of the application of code refactoring?

Making changes to code is part of refactoring. Refactoring is for making the code and the application better. This can be a on going process in an application's lifetime.

Breaking any part of application is not part of refactoring (but it can happen during refactoring). Broken parts are for fixing.
