| Abstract: | Defining and identifying waste associated with software is a hot topic in the information technology industry. Therefore, on this paper we went through literature searching for definitions of software waste in general, then with more focus on waste in the context of software architecture. Then, we tried to identify the influential factors for the presence of waste along with its relationships with architectural technical debt and architectural bad smell. The majority of the definitions of waste focused on value delivery aspects of waste, as if the software component is not adding value to the end-users is considered as waste. Adding to that there were links between the presence of waste in the context of software architecture and architectural technical debt and architectural bad smell. |
