The TDM Guidelines suggest artifacts and instruments that can be adopted by team members when performing the Activities, Tasks, and Recommendations. The main artifacts and instruments are:
- A1- Questionnaire for mapping actions related to internal software quality: it supports the teams in mapping the useful actions, artifacts, and technologies that should be adopted in the planning and performing project phases to maintain and evolve software products.
- A2- List of Required Actions and Technologies Mapped (Potential TD items): it can be used to support identifying TD items from the required actions, technologies, and criteria.
- A3- Checklist to inspect TD items: it drives team members in the identification of different TD types.
- A4- TD Management Worksheet: it supports monitoring the existing TD items.
- A5-Template for TD documentation: it supports documenting relevant information about TD items.
