Computational tools are indispensable in almost all scientific disciplines. Especially in cases where large amounts of research data are generated and need to be quickly processed, reliable, carefully developed software is crucial for analyzing and correctly interpreting such data – e.g., in biology, physics, or, very recently, in epidemiology. However, the development and maintenance of scientific software are often characterized by uncertain funding and time pressure, which can lead to quality deficiencies. To evaluate software quality in an automated way, computer scientists at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) have designed the SoftWipe tool. They published their findings in the Nature Scientific Reports journal.
