🧩 Dataset: SATD Types and AI Roles in Developer Comments Overview This dataset contains 81 source code comments annotated for both Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD) types and AI roles. It aims to explore how developers describe AI-assisted code in the context of technical debt, identifying both the type of debt and the role AI plays in that debt’s formation or resolution. 📂 Dataset File:satd_and_ai_role_annotated_data.csv This CSV file includes: Developer comment text Annotated SATD type (following Maldonado & Shihab, 2015) Annotated AI role (derived through open coding) 🏷️ Annotation of SATD Types The SATD taxonomy follows: E. d. S. Maldonado and E. Shihab, “Detecting and quantifying different types of self-admitted technical debt,” Proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Managing Technical Debt (MTD), 2015. Annotation guidelines were directly adapted from their replication package. You can find the official labeling instructions here: 👉 Labeling Tutorial (Maldonado et al.) 🤖 Annotation of AI Roles AI role annotation was conducted using open coding, based on qualitative analysis of how developers describe AI’s influence in their comments. The annotation instruction document can be found at: 📄Ai Role Annotaion Guide.pdf The identified roles include: Catalyst – AI triggers developer awareness or action. Source – AI introduces or causes technical debt. Mitigator – AI assists in resolving or reducing technical debt. Neutral – AI is mentioned without direct impact on debt.
