Next Fronteiras Interview: Daniel Feitosa on Technical Debt Management
Next week, on May 12th, 2025, we are going to interview Daniel Feitosa, a Brazilian Software Engineering professor at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Groningen. When I write "we," I mean the Frontiers of Software Engineering podcast, which is in Portuguese. I would love to have something like it in English, but as far as I know, there is no podcast that regularly interviews Software Engineering professors and researchers to discuss their work and publications. We always ask our interviewees what they would like to talk about, and Daniel chose Technical Debt Management. It's a very important topic in practice for software engineering professionals, isn't it? We also ask our interviewees to share 2 to 4 publications, and these are the ones Daniel sent us: C. Zhong, D. Feitosa, P. Avgeriou, H. Huang, Y. Li, H. Zhang. PairSmell: A Novel Perspective Inspecting Software Modular Structure. In Proceedings of the IEEE/ACM 47th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE '25), 2025. Distinguished Paper Award. https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.01012 J.P. Biazotto, D. Feitosa, P. Avgeriou, E.Y. Nakagawa. Automating Technical Debt Management: Insights from Practitioner Discussions in Stack Exchange. In Proceedings of the 8th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Technical Debt (TechDebt '25). J.P. Biazotto, D. Feitosa, P. Avgeriou, E.Y. Nakagawa.
