AI models predict and detect software development's self-admitted technical debt

Two recent arXiv papers explore the concept of Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD) in software development. The first paper introduces PRESTI, a BERT- and TextCNN-based model for predicting the effort required to repay SATD, finding that code/design and requirement debts are most costly. The second paper provides a decade-long systematic review of SATD detection approaches, noting the shift from heuristic methods to advanced ML, DL, and Transformer models, while highlighting ongoing challenges in generalizability and industrial adoption.

    Text Tells the Cost: Predicting and Analyzing Repayment Effort of Self-Admitted Technical Debt

    arXiv:2309.06020v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Technical debt refers to the consequences of sub-optimal decisions made during software development that prioritize short-term benefits over long-term maintainability. Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD) is a specific form…

    Self-Admitted Technical Debt Detection Approaches: A Decade Systematic Review

    arXiv:2312.15020v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Technical debt (TD) refers to the long-term costs associated with suboptimal design or code decisions in software development, often made to meet short-term delivery goals. Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD) occurs when d…
