Some software developing organizations believed that producing or launching a product at a faster rate is better than providing high-quality software. Consequently, leading to more technical debt as the project grows bigger. Not only the technical debt increases the workload of the developer and increase the delay of launching the project, but also costs more money. So, producing high-quality software is actually cheaper than pressuring the developers to meet the deadline.

Below are some tips to reduce technical debts

1. Defining and tracking debt
-identify the faulty code, messy code design, documentation with lacking details or contains vague statements, and bugs that have security threats. Everything should be identified and none should be ignored.

2. Prioritizing Debt Tasks
-create a list of the defined debt tasks and delegate it to everyone and make it their priority.

3. Regular meetings of managers and engineers
-reviewing each other’s code, proper testing, and helping one another should be applied in a team to fix bugs easily and determine the number of features delivered

4. Set Coding standards
Just like writers, every developer has their own unique coding style but since it’s a team, everyone should follow the standard of coding to make the code readable and easy to maintain.

5. Initiate code/design/test reviews
-through that, others could spot typos, bugs, and possible security threats that the coder omitted.

6. Do an Automated testing
Use testing software to check the code

7. Code Refactoring
The most important to implement and can truly help mitigate the harrowing technical debts in the future. Encourage the developers to have a better algorithm, follow best practice design patterns, re-organize files, and renaming classes, methods and variables.

It is the same way as a Financial Debt isn't it?
I love it when a developer takes longer to code thus making it more efficient and proper.

Yeah, I think. The person who came up with the word technical debt actually derived it from a financial situation.

Some people especially non-techy clients don't understand the process of developing a virtual product.
They think debugging is easy, but actually, it takes time.

Sometimes we actually need to be very careful when we are in debt to make sure we don't fall into depression and so on.

okay? But I'm not talking about finances here. I'm talking about the methods in reducing the possible web/app developers' problems in the future as the project grows.

I worked in a software development company previously. The company never geared towards producing quantity, instead, we focused on quality so that when our satisfied customers referred new customers, we could charge more.

It is better that a software is produce with the expect end point and features ,because adjusting the software costs more money .

True. Communication is also the key. It's better to present first the drafted new features to the client if they are okay with its design and functionality.

Sound knowledge of technology makes one less reliant on others. In this way, technical debt can be managed.

[GuestHu]

technical debt can be managed

if it is managed well by the project manager and focuses on quality rather than the speed of development.

I had worked briefly in a software company before and to be honest I learnt a lot of things about managing debt there

[Tyrim88]

I could remember i friend of mine who wanted to do a coding for a client sometime ago.The variables that was given him to make use of really gave him a whole lots of issue to solv.And the isseu of readibility and propermanagement of the whole process after coding was what he was looking out for.

Would you mind sharing some of what you learned with us?

it is important that you should pay the debt that you took the earliest first. Borrowing from different lenders at same time reduces your credit score.

The organisation would be doing a great diservice to it cutomers and potential customers as well by priorotising quantity over quality.
