Testing
Overview
The Testing Working Group aims to bring together RSEs, researchers, and practitioners to discuss current limitations in testing research software, share knowledge, and collectively address cutting-edge challenges, thereby advancing the reliability and quality of research software. This will include examining, adapting, and using valuable industry software testing practices and methodologies, as well as studying and harnessing AI technologies. Some key focus areas include testing legacy code, ensuring comprehensive code coverage, and enhancing overall verification and validation processes.
If you would like to join the conversation, please join us on
