[Host10] Upcoming webinar: Investing in Code Reviews for Better Research Software

Tue Sep 20 05:59:43 CDT 2022

The next webinar in the HPC Best Practices (http://ideas-productivity.org/events/hpc-best-practices-webinars/) series is:
Investing in Code Reviews for Better Research Software
1:00-2:00 EDT
Wednesday, October 12, 2022
Presenters: Thibault Lestang (Imperial College London), Dominik Krzemiński (University of Cambridge), and Valerio Maggio (Software Sustainability Institute)

Description: Code review is a development practice that improves readability and maintainability of software projects, in addition to making collaboration easier and teamwork more effective. Typically, code review is a conversation between reviewer(s) and the author(s) of the code under review. The code is dissected and analyzed in order to find areas of improvement according to the focus of the review. Examples include, but are not limited too, readability, security, or performance improvements. Despite code review being an effective tool for improving software quality, it is still not a standard practice within the scientific software development process. The webinar will detail the benefits that code review can bring to scientific software developers, particularly improvements in software quality, improved teamwork, and knowledge transfer. The presenters will highlight common difficulties faced by researchers to set up, perform and maintain frequent code reviews, and they will discuss
several approaches and good practices to mitigate these difficulties. The presenters will also describe common tools that make code reviews easier and give examples of how to use them effectively, while explaining a typical code development cycle with continuous integration and automatic code checks.

Participation is free, but registration is required. Registrants will also receive an email when the recording of the panel is available.
