Chapter 5. Technical Debt and the Source Code

Comprehensive analysis of technical debt requires understanding of short-term and long-term issues with business goals, source code, architecture, testing, and build and deployment infrastructure, as well as how they are all related to each other. While you might conduct separate analyses for each of these artifacts, it is important to recognize that they are intertwined. When you make decisions about remediating technical debt, their interrelationships are especially important, as discussed in later chapters. In this chapter, we explain how to use source code as input to recognizing technical debt.
