Exploring Sustainability in Scientific Software through Code Quality & Test Coverage Metrics
Sheikh Md. Mushfiqur Rahman, Gregory R. Watson, Nasir U. Eisty
Context: Scientific open-source software (SciOSS) plays a foundational role in research and engineering, yet its long-term sustainability has often been overlooked and remains a si…
Self-Admitted Technical Debt in Scientific Software: Prioritization, Sentiment, and Propagation Across Artifacts
Eric L. Melin, Nasir U. Eisty, Gregory R. Watson +1
Self-admitted technical debt (SATD) impairs scientific software (SSW), yet its prioritization, sentiment, persistence, and propagation remains underexplored. Understanding how SSW…
Multi-Artifact Analysis of Self-Admitted Technical Debt in Scientific Software
Eric L. Melin, Nasir U. Eisty, Gregory Watson +1
Context: Self-admitted technical debt (SATD) occurs when developers acknowledge shortcuts in code. In scientific software (SSW), such debt poses unique risks to the validity and re…
Uncovering Scientific Software Sustainability through Community Engagement and Software Quality Metrics
Sharif Ahmed, Addi Malviya Thakur, Gregory R. Watson +1
Scientific open-source software (Sci-OSS) projects are critical for advancing research, yet sustaining these projects long-term remains a major challenge. This paper explores the s…
