Abstract

We report here on the Sixth International Workshop on Managing Technical Debt, collocated with the International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME 2014). The major themes of discussion this year indicate a growing maturity in this area of investigation and the desire to move beyond definitional issues to impact.
