Technical Debt - What is QA's Role?

Technical Debt.

Teams don't actively set out to build buggy, poor quality releases yet inevitably, dev teams have to find workarounds which build into debt over time.

Every time you release a quick & dirty fix, you’re making a withdrawal against the future of your business. Accumulating ‘interest’ in the form of extra work, time, energy, and possibly even downtime.

Left unchecked by your QA resources, tech debt builds up.

Common causes of technical debt:

- Deadline pressures
- Being unaware of tech debt and its consequences
- Failing to see or manage knock-on effects
- Communication missteps
- Internal skills gaps
- Lack of suitable testing
