An Analysis of Techniques and Methods for Technical Debt Management: A Reflection from the Architecture Perspective

Garbajosa Sopeña, Juan; Yagüe Panadero, Agustín
Abstract:
Technical debt is a metaphor referring to the consequences of weak software development. Managing technical debt is necessary in order to keep it under control, and several techniques have been developed with the goal of accomplishing this. However, available techniques have grown disperse and managers lack guidance. This paper covers this gap by providing a systematic mapping of available techniques and methods for technical debt management, covering architectural debt, and identifying existing gaps that prevent to manage technical debt efficiently.
