摘要

A large number of computational scientific research projects make use of opensource software packages. However, the development process of such toolsfrequently differs from conventional software development; partly because ofthe nature of research, where the problems being addressed are not always fullyunderstood; partly because the majority of the development is often carried outby scientists with limited experience and exposure to best practices ofsoftware engineering. Often the software development suffers from the pressureto publish scientific results and that credit for software development islimited in comparison. Fundamental components of software engineering likemodular and reusable design, validation, documentation, and softwareintegration as well as effective maintenance and user support tend to bedisregarded due to lack of resources and qualified specialists. Thus innovativedevelopments are often hindered by steep learning curves required to masterdevelopment for legacy software packages full of ad hoc solutions. The growingcomplexity of research, however, requires suitable and maintainablecomputational tools, resulting in a widening gap between the potential users(often growing in number) and contributors to the development of such apackage. In this paper we share our experiences aiming to improve the situationby training particularly young scientists, through disseminating our ownexperiences at contributing to open source software packages and practicing keycomponents of software engineering adapted for scientists and scientificsoftware development. Specifically we summarize the outcome of the Workshop inAdvanced Techniques for Scientific Programming and Collaborative Development ofOpen Source Software Packages run at the Abdus Salam International Centre forTheoretical Physics in March 2013, and discuss our conclusions for futureefforts.
