FAQPage Schema
How do I track technical debt across my codebase?

To track technical debt, scan your repository for indicators like TODO, FIXME, and HACK comments to build a centralized debt register. This collects code quality issues and design flaws into an actionable list for ongoing software projects.

How do I prioritize refactoring tasks for sprint planning?

Prioritize refactoring tasks by categorizing collected debts into Architecture, Code Quality, Test, Documentation, and Dependencies. This process surfaces remediation priorities to directly inform your sprint planning and team backlog decisions.

What is the best way to find TODO and FIXME comments in a repository?

The best way to find TODO and FIXME comments is to run a targeted repository scan. This identifies debt indicators across the codebase and aggregates them into a centralized register for ongoing management and categorization.

Can I generate a technical debt repayment plan for my development team?

Yes, you can generate a technical debt repayment plan by categorizing scanned debt entries and prioritizing them. The generated report informs team backlog decisions and establishes a clear refactor roadmap for the development team.

Does this technical debt scanner work for ongoing software projects of varying sizes?

Yes, this debt management process is applicable to ongoing software projects of varying sizes. It tracks TODOs, design flaws, and required refactors, making it suitable for teams needing to organize debt across different project scales.
