Efficient and
Incremental Technical
Debt Management

Technical debt – or code debt – is the consequence of software development decisions that result in prioritizing speed or release over highly optimal and well-designed code. As one our key Modernization offerings, we help businesses identify, measure, manage, mitigate and eliminate technical debt to help them truly modernize and harness technology to drive revenue and innovation at scale.

Common Causes of
Technical Debt

Constant
Change

Ever-increasing customer expectations, market opportunities, cyber threats etc. mandate frequent updates and feature development, incurring technical debt in the process.

Time
Pressure

Development teams often need to shortchange performance and features to get to market quicker, intentionally or unintentionally accumulating technical debt.

Outdated
Technology

Modern applications typically involve several coding languages, developer frameworks, and libraries, which can become obsolete or not supported each year – resulting in technical debt.

Environment
Change

Often applications are developed keeping in mind specific non-functional requirements, however, the environment changes over time, resulting in tech-debt.

Our Approach

Counsel About Striking the Right Balance

Quick time-to-market and speedy proofs-of-concept are important in today’s market; therefore, our team advises and counsels businesses on how to use tech debt wisely, strike a balance between speed and quality, and follow best practices to avoid accruing tech debt in future.

Create a Shared Definition of Tech Debt

Business teams in a company may understand technical debts primarily in the context of higher operational costs and slower time to market. In a tech context, TD reduces the quality of code, testing, and design. While all views are factually correct, it is important to view the issue from a common perspective. Our team of consultants and experts bring together all stakeholders on the same page, helping everyone understand both the business and technical implications of debt. 

Assign a Dedicated Tech Debt Team

We assign a dedicated tech debt team, comprising the relevant experienced people, to work on a client’s tech debt. Our dedicated tech teams have in-depth knowledge of a product, have experience with making strategic tradeoffs between quality and speed, can outline optimal remedial approaches and can communicate the purpose + solution with upper management in a non-technical way.

Implement Code Standards and Reviews

Code standards are collections of programming rules, guidelines, and best practices which help developers write clean, readable code and easily address any changes that may need to be made later. In a code review, developers audit each other’s codes for errors. When managing tech debt, our team audits and helps standardize the code to prevent accruing unintentional technical debt in future.

Refactor Problematic Code

Refactoring is the process of restructuring the messy code in order to make it more understandable, maintainable, and bugless. Refactoring is a necessary part of modernization and tech debt payoff, as it helps transform the legacy code. Our tech debt team performs minor and major refactoring to help produce cleaner code, making future refactoring activities easier to perform.

Implement Automated Testing

The use of automation speeds up issue detection and reduces the chance of human error. It also allows QA teams to work on more sensitive issues that require human expertise. At 10Pearls, we conduct automation testing, and also help businesses implement automation testing which accelerates the bug detection process and reduces human intervention, negating technical debt.
