It accomplishes actions to observe the TD evolution and management in the software lifecycle. According to the project scenario, the costs, dependency between TD items, and their impact on internal quality may vary over time. Therefore, TD items must be continuously monitored. The outputs of this activity are essential for the proper management and treatment of existing TD. Historical data usage and specific tools are cardinal for monitoring TD.
