How to Reduce Technical Debt

1 min read

We’ll list effective solutions to know you can use to handle it.

Refactoring

Refactoring involves the restructuration of code for better readability, maintainability, and performance without changing its external behaviour.

In other words, correcting poor or bad code.

Despite reservations from some who see it as time-consuming or unnecessary, this approach extends beyond mere bug fixing and help to understand how to reduce technical debt  by enhancing overall code quality.

Establishing a proper QA process

Setting up a rigorous quality assurance (QA) process contributes to improving code quality.

With a structured QA process, you can detect potential issues before they escalate, making the refactoring process smoother. The synergy between refactoring and QA fosters an effective development environment.

Tracking technical debt

Treat technical debt tasks as any other development project in your team’s backlog. Keeping it in the mix with your regular work ensures it’s on your radar, preventing it from slipping through the cracks.

Think of tracking technical debt like organising your daily to-do list or weekly sprints. If you treat it the same way you handle other assingments, it won’t get overlooked, and you’ll always have a developer ready to make the necessary fixes.
