Technical Debt Engineering - Towards Exploring and Modeling High Priority Technical Debt
Description: Technical debt - refers to code design and implementation that is often applied as ad hoc solutions or workarounds and will require more development costs in the future. The goal of this study is to develop an engineering approach, based on mining software repositories, to identify and model the technical debt that causes chronic resource shortages in development projects and that should be eliminated as a priority. The main outcomes of this study are (1) systematization/detection of various types of technical debt, (2) empirical investigation of the impact of technical debt, and (3) modeling of technical debt with large debt amounts.
