Dead code
Dead code is commented code or code that is never used or integrated. It can be detected with code coverage tools. Generally, developers retain these instances of code due to lack of confidence, and this happens more often in legacy code. As every code is tracked in version control software tools, dead code can be deleted, and if required, can always be retrieved back from version control software.
