Experiences from large project maintenance at the Norwegian tax authority by Rafael Winterhalter

The Norwegian tax authority's taxation system controls tax liability as well as computation and processing of the country's taxes. The software is implemented as a network of over a hundret services. All functions require constant availability while the underlying complex rules and requirements are subject to constant change. As a result, developers are often hesistant to consider larger refactorings what creates the perfect conditions to creating technical debt. In this presentation, we discuss our challenges and solutions to maintaining a large distributed software system.
