| 研究実績の概要 |
This proposal aims to reduce build times in continuous integration systems by automating the identification and resolution of self-admitted technical debt (SATD) in build systems, thus enhancing software development efficiency and expediting delivery. Through comprehensive analysis of SATD in Autotools, CMake, Maven, and Ant, I have mapped the prevalence and patterns of SATD clones, laying the groundwork for a robust SATD repayment framework. These findings, published in the Springer Journal of Empirical Software Engineering, mark a significant contribution to software engineering, highlighting the ubiquity of SATD clones and setting the stage for advanced repayment strategies.
Supported by the JSPS Grant-in-Aid, my research included collaboration with experts at the University of Waterloo and continuous engagement with the Nara Institute of Science and Technology. This international collaboration has enriched my approach, ensuring these findings and developed frameworks align closely with the needs of the software engineering community, particularly in open-source environments. This work not only advances the theoretical understanding of SATD but also offers practical tools for its management, promising substantial improvements in software development practices.

理由
My research endeavors have focused on assessing the prevalence of SATD clones and delineating their occurrence patterns. This inquiry has provided pivotal insights, establishing a foundational pillar for the creation of effective SATD repayment mechanisms. Notably, the outcomes of these studies have gained recognition, being accepted and published in leading software engineering venues. Therefore, the publication this year can be an indicator that my research has progressed rather smoothly than it was originally planned.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Leveraging insights from previous studies, I am poised to develop a framework designed to recommend changes for repaying SATD. Upon its completion, this framework will be introduced to open-source software organizations for comprehensive evaluation and feedback. This step ensures the practical applicability and effectiveness of the proposed solution in real-world scenarios.
