"This is an incredibly wise and useful book. The authors have
considerable real-world experience in delivering quality systems
that matter, and their expertise shines through in these pages.
Here you will learn what technical debt is, what is it not, how to
manage it, and how to pay it down in responsible ways. This is a
book I wish I had when I was just beginning my career. The authors
present a myriad of case studies, born from years of experience,
and offer a multitude of actionable insights for how to apply it to
your project." -Grady Booch, IBM Fellow Master Best Practices for
Managing Technical Debt to Promote Software Quality and
Productivity As software systems mature, earlier design or code
decisions made in the context of budget or schedule constraints
increasingly impede evolution and innovation. This phenomenon is
called technical debt, and practical solutions exist. In Managing
Technical Debt, three leading experts introduce integrated,
empirically developed principles and practices that any software
professional can use to gain control of technical debt in any
software system. Using real-life examples, the authors explain the
forms of technical debt that afflict software-intensive systems,
their root causes, and their impacts. They introduce proven
approaches for identifying and assessing specific sources of
technical debt, limiting new debt, and "paying off" debt over time.
They describe how to establish managing technical debt as a core
software engineering practice in your organization. Discover how
technical debt damages manageability, quality, productivity, and
morale-and what you can do about it Clarify root causes of debt,
including the linked roles of business goals, source code,
architecture, testing, and infrastructure Identify technical debt
items, and analyze their costs so you can prioritize action Choose
the right solution for each technical debt item: eliminate, reduce,
or mitigate Integrate software engineering practices that minimize
new debt Managing Technical Debt will be a valuable resource for
every software professional who wants to accelerate innovation in
existing systems, or build new systems that will be easier to
maintain and evolve.
