Technical debt has to be managed in a proactive, systematic manner. When it involves finding and managing debt, these different ways have been very effective for many organizations:
1. Prioritize Debt Findings
Whenever possible, take advantage of automated tools or regular code reviews to flag areas of high technical debt automatically. For example, .NET development teams that perform static code analyses may flag issues in legacy code, such as performance bottlenecks and security issues.
2. Pursue Incremental Refactoring
It is always easier to refactor small, incremental steps, than it is to just rewrite one whole system. This strategy is useful for custom software development efforts that need minimal downtime and/or have limited interruptions in service.
3. Use a Module Architecture
Using module or micro-service architecture is a great way to modularize an application making it more flexible to make one change without impacting the entire system. This is very useful for web developers and .NET Core development projects in Rajkot.
4. Leverage Clearly Defined Coding Standards; Best Practices, and Conventions
By adapting and creating and consistent coding standards and conventions this removes volatility and it becomes easier to maintain. Regularly auditing web development can promote a commitment to making high-quality and easily maintainable code by having developers check in with each other.
5. Utilize Automation and CI/CD
Automating running tests, deployments, and continuous integration will ensure that adding new code won’t lead to additional technical debt.Â
6. Prioritize Documentation
Make sure there is good documentation that is comprehensive and up-to-date for both legacy and new code. Â
7. Ensure Technical Debt is Visible to Stakeholders
Technical debt should be included in your project planning and road-mapping discussions.
8. Don’t Starvation for New Features
Try to find a balance of delivering new features and addressing the technical debt.
