Posted: 9/19/2024 (CSDE Research)
Code has become an important part of scientists and researchers’ work. Code review is “a common practice in software engineering, which entails detailed and continual examination of additions and changes to a software code-base.” CSDE Affiliate Ariel Rokem provides ten simple rules for scientific code review that detail the process in an effective and enjoyable manner. These rules aim to introduce scientists to a broad range of backgrounds to code and suggest some best practices. Visit the article in PLOS Computational Biology to learn more about these rules and how to use them effectively in your code review.
