Abstract

This vision paper explores the factors that impact the aging and depreciation of software. Based on the exploration of related work in software aging, software anti-aging, the financial aspect of technical debt and accounting of intangible assets, we postulate that a more holistic approach towards obsolescence should be taken as most research focuses solely on the technical aspects of software aging, leaving the business and accounting aspects greatly unexplored.
