Improving Software Education with Technical Debt Analysis Tool

This work examines how to quantify and analyze technical flaws in software development, particularly in the context of education. The study addresses common issues such as poor code quality, missing documentation, and insufficient testing. To support this effort, a tool was developed to detect and measure these flaws, offering useful feedback for students and educators. The focus is on integrating technical flaw detection into the learning process, helping students identify problems early and improve their coding practices. By focusing on these areas, the research aims to contribute to better preparation of students for real-world software development, ensuring that they are equipped to handle common challenges in maintaining code quality. Incorporating such analysis in education can lead to more reliable and maintainable software projects.

Abstract

This work examines how to quantify and analyze technical flaws in software development, particularly in the context of education. The study addresses common issues such as poor code quality, missing documentation, and insufficient testing. To support this effort, a tool was developed to detect and measure these flaws, offering useful feedback for students and educators. The focus is on integrating technical flaw detection into the learning process, helping students identify problems early and improve their coding practices. By focusing on these areas, the research aims to contribute to better preparation of students for real-world software development, ensuring that they are equipped to handle common challenges in maintaining code quality. Incorporating such analysis in education can lead to more reliable and maintainable software projects.
