'Sami Hyrynsalmi' 'Stephen G. MacDonell' 'Thiago Souto Mendes' 'Jim Buchan' 'Ville Leppänen'] Context: Contemporary software development is typically conducted in dynamic, resource-scarce environments that are prone to the accumulation of technical debt. While this general phenomenon is acknowledged, what remains…

'Marcus Ciolkowski' 'Neil A. Ernst' 'Ronald J. Koontz' 'Eltjo Poort' 'Forrest Shull'] Abstract—Technical Debt, considered by many to be the 'silent killer' of software projects, has undeniably become part of the everyday vocabulary of software engineers. We know it compromises the internal quality of a system, either…

'Vladimir Mandić' 'Nebojša Taušan' 'Muhammad Ovais Ahmad' 'Javier González‐Huerta'] Context: Advances in technical debt research demonstrate the benefits of applying the financial debt metaphor to support decision-making in software development activities. Although decision-making during requirements engineering has…

'Abdulkream Alsulami' 'Safa Habibullah' 'Issa Atoum'] Most previous research focuses on finding Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD) or detecting bugs alone, rather to addressing the concurrent identification of both issues. These study investigations solely identify and classify the SATD or faults, without identifying…

What new questions could ecophysiologists answer if physio-logging research was fully reproducible? We argue that technical debt (computational hurdles resulting from prioritizing short-term goals over long-term sustainability) stemming from insufficient cyberinfrastructure (field-wide tools, standards, and norms for…

Good data curation is integral to cohort studies, but it is not always done to a level necessary to ensure the longevity of the data a study holds. In this opinion paper, we introduce the concept of data curation debt-the data curation equivalent to the software engineering principle of technical debt. Using the…

—Technical debt refers to taking shortcuts to achieve short-term goals, which might negatively influence software maintenance in the long-term. There is increasing attention on technical debt that is admitted by developers in source code comments (termed as self-admitted technical debt or SATD). But SATD in issue…

Technical debt prediction (TDP) is crucial for the long-term maintainability of software. In the literature, many machine-learning based TDP models have been proposed; they used TD-related metrics as input features for machine-learning classifiers to build TDP models. However, their performance is unsatisfactory.…

Software quality in computational tools impacts research output in a variety of scientific disciplines. Biology is one of these fields, especially for High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) data, such tools play an important role. This study therefore characterises the overall quality of a selection of tools which are…

'Muhammad Ovais Ahmad' 'Leander Luiz Klein'] In software engineering, organizational debt (OD) is a crucial but little-researched phenomena. OD refers to the accumulation of outdated structures, policies, and processes that hinder an organization’s advancement and adaptability. This multivocal literature review (MLR)…

Microbes grow in a wide variety of environments and must balance growth and stress resistance. Despite the prevalence of such trade-offs, understanding of their role in non-steady environments is limited. In this study, we introduce a mathematical model of “growth debt”, where microbes grow rapidly initially, paying…

Scientific computing has become a central component of modern scientific discovery. Yet many computational tools are developed by small, specialized teams under incentives that encourage the release of rapidly prototyped tooling without commensurate attention to engineering concerns, including performance and…
