Technical debt : the cost of doing nothing
… concept of product health is largely ignored. Technical debt - the consequence of making short-term design decisions at the expense of long-term health - has been accumulating within code bases as developers and managers struggle to identify, quantify, and manage it properly. In this thesis, an …

Automated Self-Admitted Technical Debt Tracking, Classification, and Repayment for Sustainable Software Development
Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD), a concept that highlights sub-optimal choices in software development documented in code comments or other project resources, poses challenges to the maintainability and evolution of software systems. Recognizing the importance of managing SATD to mitigate its …

Hitting the Bullseye: The Influence of Technical Debt on the Accuracy of Effort Estimation in Agile Projects
… may be implemented. These shortcuts represent “technical debt,” a metaphor which succinctly describes a software solution that should be “paid in full” or remediated in the future. Software architects and developers intend to resolve the “debt” in future product releases, but practitioners …

Empirical analysis of software refactoring motivation and effects
As complexity and levels of technical debt within software systems increase over time the incentive of an organization to refactor legacy software likewise increases. However, the opportunity cost of such refactoring in terms of engineering time and monetary investment have proven difficult to …

An empirical study on software quality : developer perception of quality, metrics, and visualizations
… during the lifetime of a software product, its technical debt can be held in check, reducing total cost of ownership. The measurement of quality faces challenges due to disagreement in the meaning of software quality, the inability to directly measure quality factors, and the lack of measurement …

Characterising Algorithm Debt in Machine and Deep Learning Systems
… challenges, often due to design choices, lead to Technical Debt (TD). Algorithm Debt (AD) in ML/DL systems is a TD type caused by inefficient algorithmic decisions, leading to poor scalability and model degradation. Despite its impact, AD remains underexplored in ML/DL systems due to its novelty, …
