Abstract :
This paper presents the SQALE (Software Quality Assessment Based on Lifecycle Expectations) method. We describe its Quality Model and Analysis Model which is used to estimate the Quality and the Technical Debt of an application source code. We provide recommendations and guidelines for using the SQALE indicators in order to analyse the structure and the impact of the Technical Debt.
