Abstract

Software lifecycles are becoming an increasingly important issue for computational science & engineering (CSE) software. The process by which a piece of CSE software begins life as a set of research requirements and then matures into a trusted high-quality capability is both commonplace and extremely challenging. Although an implicit lifecycle is obviously being used in any effort, the challenges of this process-respecting the competing needs of research vs. production-cannot be overstated. Here we describe a proposal for a well-defined software life-cycle process based on modern Lean/Agile software engineering principles. What we propose is appropriate for many CSE software projects that are initially heavily focused on research but also are expected to eventually produce usable high-quality capabilities. The model is related to TriBITS, a build, integration and testing system, which serves as a strong foundation for this lifecycle model, and aspects of this lifecycle model are ingrained in the TriBITS system. Indeed this lifecycle process, if followed, will enable large-scale sustainable integration of many complex CSE software efforts across several institutions.
TriBITS生命周期模型概述:基于研究的计算科学和工程软件的精益/敏捷软件生命周期模型
软件生命周期正成为计算科学与工程(CSE)软件日益重要的问题。CSE软件从一组研究需求开始,然后成熟为可信赖的高质量功能,这一过程既普通又极具挑战性。尽管一个隐含的生命周期显然在任何努力中都被使用,但这个过程的挑战——尊重研究与生产的竞争需求——怎么强调也不过分。在这里,我们描述了一个基于现代精益/敏捷软件工程原则的定义良好的软件生命周期过程的建议。我们的建议适用于许多CSE软件项目,这些项目最初主要集中在研究上,但也期望最终产生可用的高质量功能。该模型与TriBITS相关,TriBITS是一个构建、集成和测试系统,它作为该生命周期模型的坚实基础,并且该生命周期模型的各个方面在TriBITS系统中根深蒂固。实际上,如果遵循这个生命周期过程,将使跨几个机构的许多复杂CSE软件工作的大规模可持续集成成为可能。
