Hi guys,

I found an interesting article in an German IT magazine (iX) about technical debt.

In the article the actual CRASH-Report of the CAST Research Labs is referenced. They stated: to eliminate technical debt it cost round about 3,61 US$ per line of code which brings you to 1 Mio US$ for a product existing out of 300.000 lines of code.

You find the report at:

Hi JP,
thanks for sharing the information. Do you know if the iX article is online visible?
Also, do you have the PDF of the CRASH-Report; I would rather not jump through the whole registering process.

Best,
Ralph

It's a weird doc viewer on slideshare, but it seems to work OK...

Ralph,

sorry I do not have the report yet. I think you can't get the iX article online. If you like I can scan it for you.

best JP
