TechDebt Tracker: Um framework visual para o gerenciamento de dívida técnica em startups

Abstract

Technical Debt has become a relevant topic in software engineering, being related to the consequences of introducing immature or incomplete ar tifacts during software development. Several studies address it in the context of more mature companies, however, few studies focus on startups. Conside ring the informality in the adoption of software engineering best practices by startups, the objective of this work was to develop a framework to assist them in managing Technical Debt, called TechDebt Tracker. For this purpose, the Design Science Research method was used. According to the results obtained, TechDebt Tracker proved to be effective in managing Technical Debt, as well as simple to understand and implement.
