About this report

"A rapid accumulation of technical debt negatively impacts feature delivery, quality and predictability of software applications. Software engineering leaders can use this research to identify and introduce tools to measure and monitor technical debt at both the architectural level and code level." 

Overview

Measure and Monitor Technical Debt With 5 Types of Tools

By Tigran Egiazarov, Thomas Murphy

September 9th, 2024

Key Findings 

  • "Poorly designed software architectures are the main source of technical debt that has an unbounded negative impact on product quality and delivery speed. Fixing architectural technical debt is immensely time-consuming for software engineers and detracts from value-added work."
  • "Technical debt is an unavoidable side effect of every software development activity.  Unfortunately, technical debt is often tolerated until it heavily affects feature delivery and the code quality of the product."

Recommendations

  • "Prevent time-consuming architectural rework by introducing architectural technical debt analysis tools to analyze and monitor the amount of debt at the architecture level and prioritizing work to address issues highlighted in the analysis."

  • "Avoid compromising code quality and application delivery by proactively monitor technical debt at the code level and refactor critical code sections."

How to prioritize and reduce technical debt with CodeScene

 In this tutorial, using MongoDB codebase as an example, we'll show how you can remediate technical debt based on impact.

“Total gamechanger for software development”

"Seriously, this is a game-changer. CodeScene's hotspots help us zero in on those tricky parts of our codebase that might be causing headaches. It's like having a guide showing you where the potholes are on a road so you can dodge them.Beyond the hotspots, the tool offers some pretty nifty metrics about code health and team dynamics. It's not just about the code; it's also about how we work together as a team."
