Abstract

Increasingly software engineers use the metaphor of technical debt to communicate issues related to the growing cost of change. In this article, we report on the Seventh Workshop on Managing Technical Debt (MTD 2015), held in Bremen, Germany, on October 2, 2015, collocated with the International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME). The 30 workshop participants from industry and academia engaged in lively discussions, which helped clarify issues, refine questions, and promote common understanding about technical debt in software.
