Technical Debt (TD) is a metaphor to refer to events that bring quality loss in the code. A large volume of Technical Debt in an application may bring losses for the organisation that keeps it. For those organisations that outsource software development, monitoring TD in the influx of development packages may be an efficient strategy to ensure the quality of the product acquired. This works bring an account on the search for a TD management model, to allow a given Brazilian Federal Administration body to inspect how much debt an application has, as acquired in an outsourced way.
