Modelling the Quantification of Technical Debt
summary
Proposes a concrete Technical Debt Quantification Model that defines 21 concepts and delivers a conceptual model, an approach comparison matrix and a calculation model for summing total development cost and TD interest. Applies the matrix to map and compare 39 approaches, showing top tools cover 19, 14 and 13 of the TDQM concepts and revealing inconsistent targets across prior work. Current calculation model is theoretical and limited to code/design/architecture; planned experiments with open‑source repos test relationships between TD items, new code and rework.
