Abstract

Technical debt occurs when teams knowingly or unknowingly make technical decisions in return for short-term gain(s) in their projects. The test dimension of technical debt is known as test technical debt (or test debt). Test debt is an emerging topic and has received considerable interest from software industry in the last few years. This chapter provides an overview of test debt, factors that contribute to test debt, and strategies for repaying test debt. The chapter also discusses how to identify “test smells” and refactor them for repaying technical debt in industrial projects using numerous examples and case studies. This chapter would be of considerable value to managers and leads working in IT companies as well as researchers working in the area of test debt.
