Technical Debt Security Encryption of user account information has not been implemented. Testing without security protocols in place decreases the complexity of verifying successful data transfers. Documentation Javadocs or automatic wiki generation code has not been created within the current baseline. Time will be dedicated later in the life cycle when the source is mature and ready for documentation. Compatibility Only 4 carriers have been tested for message delivery. More carriers can be added during later phases of the software lifecycle for robustness. 56
