Une fois que ce point de basculement est déterminé, une société peut décider où et quand elle doit aborder les problèmes de qualité structurelle qui ont créé la dette technique. La partie agréable de se débarrasser de dette technique est la même que pour la dette personnelle: cela évite le paiement de plein d’intérêts. Pourtant, il n’y a aucune pénalité à rembourser en avance… en fait, cela apporte une récompense significative grâce à un logiciel de meilleure qualité.

When you start a web application design, it is essential to apply threat risk modeling; otherwise you will squander resources, time, and money on useless controls that fail to focus on the real risks. The method used to assess risk is not nearly as important as actually performing a structured threat risk modeling. Microsoft notes that the single most important factor in their security improvement program was the corporate adoption of threat risk modeling. OWASP recommends Microsoft’s threat modeling process because it works well for addressing the unique challenges facing web application security and is simple to learn and adopt by designers, developers, code reviewers, and the quality assurance team. The following sections provide some overview information (or see Section 6.9, Further Reading, for additional resources).
