商品描述


"This is an incredibly wise and useful book. The authors have considerable real-world experience in delivering quality systems that matter, and their expertise shines through in these pages. Here you will learn what technical debt is, what is it not, how to manage it, and how to pay it down in responsible ways. This is a book I wish I had when I was just beginning my career. The authors present a myriad of case studies, born from years of experience, and offer a multitude of actionable insights for how to apply it to your project."

Master Best Practices for Managing Technical Debt to Promote Software Quality and Productivity
As software systems mature, earlier design or code decisions made in the context of budget or schedule constraints increasingly impede evolution and innovation. This phenomenon is called technical debt, and practical solutions exist. In Managing Technical Debt, three leading experts introduce integrated, empirically developed principles and practices that any software professional can use to gain control of technical debt in any software system.

Using real-life examples, the authors explain the forms of technical debt that afflict software-intensive systems, their root causes, and their impacts. They introduce proven approaches for identifying and assessing specific sources of technical debt, limiting new debt, and "paying off" debt over time. They describe how to establish managing technical debt as a core software engineering practice in your organization.

  • Discover how technical debt damages manageability, quality, productivity, and morale-and what you can do about it
  • Clarify root causes of debt, including the linked roles of business goals, source code, architecture, testing, and infrastructure
  • Identify technical debt items, and analyze their costs so you can prioritize action
  • Choose the right solution for each technical debt item: eliminate, reduce, or mitigate
  • Integrate software engineering practices that minimize new debt

Managing Technical Debt will be a valuable resource for every software professional who wants to accelerate innovation in existing systems, or build new systems that will be easier to maintain and evolve.

精通管理技術債以促進軟體品質和生產力的最佳實踐

隨著軟體系統的成熟,早期在預算或時間表限制下做出的設計或程式碼決策越來越阻礙進化和創新。這種現象被稱為技術債,並存在實用的解決方案。在《管理技術債》中,三位領先的專家介紹了整合的、以實證為基礎的原則和實踐,任何軟體專業人員都可以使用這些原則和實踐來掌控任何軟體系統中的技術債。

通過實際案例,作者解釋了影響軟體密集型系統的技術債的形式、根本原因和影響。他們介紹了確定和評估特定技術債來源、限制新債務以及隨時間償還債務的成熟方法。他們描述了如何將管理技術債作為組織中的核心軟體工程實踐。

- 發現技術債如何損害可管理性、品質、生產力和士氣,以及您可以採取的措施
- 澄清債務的根本原因,包括商業目標、原始碼、架構、測試和基礎設施之間的聯繫
- 確定技術債項目,並分析其成本,以便優先採取行動
- 選擇每個技術債項目的正確解決方案:消除、減少或緩解
- 整合最小化新債務的軟體工程實踐

《管理技術債》將成為每位軟體專業人員的寶貴資源,他們希望加速現有系統的創新,或者構建更易於維護和演進的新系統。

作者簡介

Philippe Kruchten is a professor of software engineering at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. He joined academia in 2004, after a 30]-year career in industry, where he worked mostly with large software-intensive systems design in the domains of telecommunication, defense, aerospace, and transportation. Some of his experience in software development is embodied in the Rational Unified Process (RUP), whose development he directed from 1995 until 2003. He's the author or co-author of Rational Unified Process: An Introduction (Addison-Wesley, 1998), RUP Made Easy: A Practitioner's Guide (Addison-Wesley, 2003), and Software Engineering with UPEDU (Addison-Wesley, 2003), as well as earlier books about programming in Pascal and Ada. He received a doctoral degree in information systems (1986) and a mechanical engineering degree (1975) from French engineering schools.

Robert Nord is a principal researcher at the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute, where he works to develop and communicate effective methods and practices for agile at scale, software architecture, and managing technical debt. He is coauthor of the practitioner-oriented books Applied Software Architecture (Addison-Wesley, 2000) and Documenting Software Architectures: Views and Beyond (Addison-Wesley, 2011) and lectures on architecture-centric approaches. He received a PhD in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University and is a distinguished member of the ACM.

Ipek Ozkaya is a principal researcher at the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute. Her primary work includes developing techniques for improving software development efficiency and system evolution, with an emphasis on software architecture practices, software economics, agile development, and managing technical debt in complex, large-scale software-intensive systems. In addition, as part of her responsibilities, she works with government and industry organizations to improve their software architecture practices. She received a PhD in Computational Design from Carnegie Mellon University. Ozkaya is a senior member of IEEE and the 2019--2021 editor-in-chief of IEEE Software magazine.
