DOI: 10.1007/s10664-021-10081-7
Abstract: In software development, ad hoc solutions that are intentionally implemented by developers are called self-admitted technical debt (SATD). Because the existence of SATD spreads poor implementations, it is necessary to remove it as soon as… read more here.

Negativity in self-admitted technical debt: how sentiment influences prioritization
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Empirical Software Engineering"
DOI: 10.1007/s10664-024-10611-z
Abstract: Self-Admitted Technical Debt, or SATD, is a self-admission of technical debt present in a software system. The presence of SATD in software systems negatively affects developers, therefore, managing and addressing SATD is crucial for software… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tse.2021.3129355
Abstract: Technical Debt (TD) is a successful metaphor in conveying the consequences of software inefficiencies and their elimination to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, primarily due to its monetary nature. The identification and quantification of TD… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0324847
Abstract: Most previous research focuses on finding Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD) or detecting bugs alone, rather to addressing the concurrent identification of both issues. These study investigations solely identify and classify the SATD or faults, without… read more here.
