Using Analytics to Quantify Interest of Self-Admitted Technical Debt
نویسندگان
چکیده
Technical debt refers to the phenomena of taking a shortcut to achieve short term development gain at the cost of increased maintenance effort in the future. The concept of debt, in particular, the cost of debt has not been widely studied. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to determine ways to measure the ‘interest’ on the debt and use these measures to see how much of the technical debt incurs positive interest, i.e., debt that indeed costs more to pay off in the future. To measure interest, we use the LOC and Fan-In measures. We perform a case study on the Apache JMeter project and find that approximately 42 44% of the technical debt incurs positive interest.

متن کاملRework Effort Estimation of Self-admitted Technical Debt
Programmers sometimes leave incomplete, temporary workarounds and buggy codes that require rework. This phenomenon in software development is referred to as Selfadmitted Technical Debt (SATD). The challenge therefore is for software engineering researchers and practitioners to resolve the SATD problem to improve the software quality. We performed an exploratory study using a text mining approac...

We analyze the impact of a contract's length, callability, amortization and original discount by arbitrage methods. Among instruments that are callable without penalty, longer instruments command a higher interest rate because the borrower possesses the option of repaying relatively more slowly. However, the rate on longer self-amortizing loans cannot be substantially larger than for shorter on...
