Ringkasan	Technical debt represents accumulated shortcuts, deferred maintenance, and design compromises that incur future costs through slower development, higher defect rates, and deployment difficulty. Introduced by Ward Cunningham (1992), technical debt measurement quantifies these burdens using metrics like code complexity, duplication, test coverage gaps, and maintainability indices. Organizations use debt measurement to balance immediate delivery with long-term sustainability.	Defect prediction models forecast the likelihood of software faults in code modules using statistical or machine learning approaches. Pioneered by Ostrand, Weyuker, and Bell (2005), these models correlate code metrics (complexity, churn, coupling) with historical defect data to identify high-risk components. Organizations use predictions to allocate testing resources, guide code review, and prioritize refactoring.
