Technical debt is a well-known challenge in software development, and its negative impact on software quality, maintainability, and performance is widely recognized. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has proven to be a promising approach to assist in managing technical debt. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of existing research on the use of AI powered tools for technical debt avoidance in software development. In this literature review we analyzed 15 related research papers which covers various AI-powered techniques, such as code analysis and review, automated testing, code refactoring, predictive maintenance, code generation, and code documentation, and explores their effectiveness in addressing technical debt. The review also discusses the benefits and challenges of using AI for technical debt management, provides insights into the current state of research, and highlights gaps and opportunities for future research. The findings of this review suggest that AI has the potential to significantly improve technical debt management in software development, and that existing research provides valuable insights into how AI can be leveraged to address technical debt effectively and efficiently. However, the review also highlights several challenges and limitations of current approaches, such as the need for high-quality data and ethical considerations and underscores the importance of further research to address these issues. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on AI for technical debt avoidance and offers practical guidance for software development teams seeking to leverage AI in their development processes to mitigate technical debt effectively |
