Prioritizing Technical Debt with Code Hotspots

GOTO Conferences · Talk · 45 min · 2019 · YouTube title: Prioritizing Technical Debt as if Time & Money Matters • Adam Tornhill • GOTO 2019

Why it's here

Cited as a practical approach to finding the technical debt that matters, and as a reference for codebase visualization.

What it covers

Adam Tornhill's GOTO Copenhagen 2019 talk on how to prioritize technical debt in large codebases. It argues for combining code complexity with change frequency (hotspots) from version control data, rather than trying to quantify debt in the abstract.
