Context: Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD) refers to the technical debt in software that is explicitly flagged, typically by the source code comment. The SATD literature has mainly focused on comprehending, describing, detecting, and recommending SATD. Most recently, there have been efforts to study the state of the code before and after removing the SATD comment. While these efforts serve as a preliminary step towards the repayment of SATD, actual attempts towards automating SATD repayment, to the best of our knowledge, are yet to be made. Objective: In this paper, we propose the first atte...

Technical Debt occurs when development teams favour short-term operability over long-term stability. Since this places software maintainability at risk, technical debt requires early attention to avoid paying for accumulated interest. Most of the existing work focuses on detecting technical debt using code comments, known as Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD). However, there are many cases where technical debt instances are not explicitly acknowledged but deeply hidden in the code. In this paper, we propose a framework that caters for the absence of SATD comments in code. Our Self-Admitted Te...
