Description

Research code is often written to answer a specific scientific question by people whose primary expertise is not software engineering. How can such code be made robust, maintainable, and easy to use?
This talk presents industry best practices in code development, including version control with Git, code review, automated testing, and Agile-inspired workflows. These habits improve teamwork and support knowledge transfer within a research group, while making the software reliable and maintainable long after the original authors have moved on.
