The document discusses the SQALE method for assessing technical debt in software projects. SQALE provides a structured quality model for defining requirements and measuring technical debt based on violations of those requirements. It includes two estimation models for calculating the technical and business perspective of debt. SQALE also defines indices and indicators for monitoring and analyzing debt across versions and projects. The method supports prioritizing debt repayments from both technical and business perspectives to optimize remediation budgets.
