# Dataset Card for "techdebt_label"

This dataset was generated from [The Technical Debt Dataset](https://github.com/clowee/The-Technical-Debt-Dataset) created by Lenarduzzi, et al. and the citation is down below.

## Dataset Details and Structure

The labels for the dataset were provided by the SonarQube software cited by the paper and matched to the diff in the commit where the message was raised. This diff was then cleaned to only include the lines of code added.


## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Beware of the limited sample size and label variety in the dataset. Also, the queries used to extract this data are still being checked over to ensure correctness.


## Recommendations

Changes are constantly being made to this dataset to make it better. Please be aware when you use it.
