论文摘要
将业务视角纳入优先级技术债务对于为行业的决策做出贡献至关重要。在本文中，我们进化并评估了一种以业务驱动的方式进行技术债务优先级的方法。在五个月的工业案例研究中评估了该方法，并通过业务利益相关者积极参与。结果表明，该方法有助于使业务和技术利益相关者之间的业务标准保持一致。我们还观察到影响高价值商业资产的技术债务量的下降趋势。此外，我们确定了影响与技术债务优先级相关的决策的八个业务因素。该研究结果表明，拟议的以业务驱动的技术债务优先级方法方法可以帮助团队集中精力偿还业务最相关的债务。
Incorporating the business perspective into prioritizing technical debt is essential to contribute to decision making in industry. In this paper, we evolve and evaluate a business-driven approach for technical debt prioritization. The approach was evaluated during a five-month industrial case study with business and technical stakeholders' active participation. The results show that the approach contributed to aligning business criteria between the business and technical stakeholders. We also observed a downward trend in the amount of technical debt that affects high-value business assets. Moreover, we identified eight business factors that affect the decision making related to the prioritization of technical debt. The study results suggest that the proposed business-driven technical debt prioritization approach can help teams to focus their efforts on paying off the business' most relevant debt.
