Deuda técnica

Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:12:00 +0100

¿Qué desarrollador de software nunca ha estado una semana programando a toda velocidad, casi sin saber que hace, ya que la fecha de entrega está cerca y todo tiene que estar terminado ”para ayer”? ¿Quién no se ha encontrado en la situación de saber que está programando una chapuza, pensando que otro día lo mejorará, y ese día nunca llega? ¿Quién alguna vez, al ver una porción de código fuente no ha exclamado indignado: ¡qué narices hace este código! o ¡quién leches lo ha programado!?

A todo este código lo solemos calificar como chapuzas, apaños, ñapas, mierdecillas¦ Su problema es que, por lo general, se va extendiendo de forma exponencial y acumulándose a lo largo del desarrollo de un proyecto. Y en consecuencia tenemos como resultado un código fuente que es muy difícil de mantener, extender y reutilizar; y un aplicativo que funcionalmente tiene problemas.
