The results of an exploratory field study conducted across several projects reveal that a variety of business and environmental factors cause the occurrence of technical debt in critical domains. ...
to better identify and manage technical debt. ...
Therefore, we performed an exploratory field study to gain a better understanding of the nature of technical debt and its potential sources in critical domains. ...

Technical-, Social- and Process Debt in Large-Scale Agile: An Exploratory Case-Study
[chapter]
2019
Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing
Via both teamand large-scale retrospectives we investigated how teams coordinate and discuss Technical-, Social-and Process Debts. ...
In other words, the organization and the system accumulate debt, on which the teams pay a high interest. Such debt must therefore be prioritized and "repaid" timely. ...
This work was partially supported by the Research Council of Norway through grant 267704 and by the companies Kantega, Knowit, Storebrand and Sbanken. ...

2014
2014 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution
Throughout a software development life cycle, developers knowingly commit code that is either incomplete, requires rework, produces errors, or is a temporary workaround. ...
Second, our work performs an exploratory study on self-admitted technical debt, hence, contributing to the body of work on technical debt. ...
CASE-STUDY RESULTS The goal of our research is to perform an exploratory study on self-admitted technical debt. ...

Financial Constraints, Financing Channels and Corporations' R&D Investment—Based on Development Phase and Heterogeneity of Operating Cash Flow
2016
Open Journal of Social Sciences

Using panel data and q model, our analysis proves that listed corporations in GEM are facing financial constraints; operating cash flow is still the main capital source of R&D investment. ...
As a result, the current asset ratio and debt financing could not be introduced into a model at the same time. ...

and (2) What do we, as a community, gain when we include the multivocal literature and conduct MLRs? ...
A Multivocal Literature Review (MLR) is a form of a SLR which includes grey literature in addition to the published (formal) literature. Only a few MLRs have been published in SE so far. ...

Exploration of technical debt in start-ups
2018
Proceedings of the 40th International Conference on Software Engineering Software Engineering in Practice - ICSE-SEIP '18
Method: We apply a case survey method to identify aspects of technical debt and contextual information characterizing the engineering context in start-ups. ...
Results: By analyzing responses from 86 start-up cases we found that start-ups accumulate most technical debt in the testing dimension, despite attempts to automate testing. ...
We use a case survey as data source and apply a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to explore technical debt in the surveyed companies. ...

Wait For It: Identifying "On-Hold" Self-Admitted Technical Debt
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Self-admitted technical debt refers to situations where a software developer knows that their current implementation is not optimal and indicates this using a source code comment. ...
Based on a qualitative study of 335 comments indicating self-admitted technical debt, we first identify one particular class of debt amenable to automated management: "on-hold" self-admitted technical ...
They performed an exploratory study using text mining to extract self-admitted technical debt from source code comments. ...

An Exploratory Study on the Introduction and Removal of Different Types of Technical Debt
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Prior research has illustrated the negative impact of technical debt, and many researchers investigated how developers deal with a certain type of technical debt. ...
As for the removal of technical debt, we find that requirement debt is removed the most, and design debt is removed the fastest. ...
To identify SATD in a project, we use source code comments that describe part of the source code containing technical debt. ...

On the Uncertainty of Technical Debt Measurements
2013
2013 International Conference on Information Science and Applications (ICISA)
Exploratory investigations reveal that the techniques suggested allow for the comparison of uncertainties that come from differing sources. ...
We propose a departure from de-facto methods of reporting results of technical debt measurements for more rigorous techniques drawn from established methods in the physical sciences. ...
Q3: What source code testing strategies can we use to identify and detect potential sources of systematic errors? II. ...

A case study on effectively identifying technical debt
2013
Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering - EASE '13
Context: The technical debt (TD) concept describes a tradeoff between short-term and long-term goals in software development. ...
While it is highly useful as a metaphor, it has utility beyond the facilitation of discussion, to inspire a useful set of methods and tools that support the identification, measurement, monitoring, management ...

The hidden cost of backward compatibility
2020
Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Technical Debt
Conclusion This paper illustrates that integration tests can be viewed as a debt from the perspective of deprecated services. ...
Method We take an exploratory approach, reporting on experiences found before and after servicing parts of the incurred Technical Debt. ...
This is what we call excessive usage of a service version, as opposed to the expected usage of a service version which is its source code, its unit tests and integration tests of the service version itself ...

Influence of Developer Factors on Code Quality: A Data Study
2019
2019 IEEE 19th International Conference on Software Quality, Reliability and Security Companion (QRS-C)
In this exploratory study, we test this hypothesis on two large open source repositories, using TD as a code quality metric and the data that may be inferred from the version control systems. ...
Since these tools only examine the software project's codebase, they overlook other possible factors that may impact code quality and the assessment of the technical debt (TD). ...
A. Technical Debt Cunningham [10] created the Technical Debt (TD) term as an analogy between financial concepts and software cost. ...

Technical debt (TD) is a metaphor that refects the technical compromises that sacrifce the long-term health of a software product to achieve short term beneft. ...
We found out that Task Complexity has a strong relationship (p-value = 5.69 × 10 −5 ) with Technical Debt, while Global Distance was mentioned by the interviewees as a relevant factor for TD accumulation ...
As a result, the plots confrmed that there is some level of linearity between TD and LT, TC, DV and TS. Third, we tested for auto-correlation using the Durbin-Watson test. ...
