Debt Rating per Namespace

Quality Gate Quality Gates

Forbid namespaces with a poor Debt Rating of E or D.

The Debt Rating derives from the Debt Ratio (% of Debt Amount over estimated effort to develop the code element) and the thresholds in Debt Settings. The effort to develop is inferred from lines of code and the man-days to develop 1000 logical lines of code setting.

The Quality Gate can be modified to match assemblies, types or methods.
