How do I find and list TODO and FIXME comments for code refactoring?▼

Finding TODO and FIXME comments is handled by scanning the codebase for specific comment patterns, listing areas needing future attention, and identifying them as primary refactoring targets for maintenance.

What is the best way to manage deprecated code and known issues before a sprint?▼

Managing deprecated code and known issues before a sprint requires a consolidated view of technical debt items, enabling teams to allocate refactoring resources effectively and maintain code health.

How do I identify refactoring targets in a legacy codebase?▼

Identifying refactoring targets in a legacy codebase involves tracking deprecated components, scanning for outstanding issues, and pinpointing specific sections of code that require modernization.

Are there prerequisites for scanning a codebase to manage technical debt?▼

Scanning a codebase to manage technical debt requires no external dependencies, relying solely on scanning for specific comment patterns and maintaining an internal issue registry to track maintenance priorities.

Can I use this to maintain a registry of existing bugs and limitations?▼

Yes, you can maintain a record of existing bugs and limitations by using the issue registry feature, which tracks known issues alongside deprecated code and technical debt items.
