Technical Debt Visualizer

Purpose and Intent

The technical-debt-visualizer provides a data-driven view of software quality. It helps engineering leaders and developers prioritize refactoring work by identifying files that are both complex and frequently changed—the "high-interest" technical debt.

When to Use

  • Sprint Planning: Run this before a dedicated refactoring sprint to identify the best "ROI" targets.
  • Architectural Reviews: Use to visualize the impact of legacy systems on the overall codebase health.
  • Due Diligence: Quickly assess the health of a new or acquired repository.

When NOT to Use

  • Performance Benchmarking: This tool measures code structure and maintainability, not runtime performance.
  • Absolute Complexity Rating: Metrics like cyclomatic complexity are indicators, not absolute rules; some complex logic is unavoidable.
