Balancing Accuracy, Performance, and Maintainability in Research Software In-Person
Technical debt refers to short-term optimizations that may lead to longer-term consequences in the software project. Spoiler alert - it happens in research software as well. In this talk, I will share some findings from studies my group has done into the nature of technical debt in research software projects, both large and small. Key is to do tradeoff analysis of your important project qualities, like accuracy or performance. Using a combination of interviews, surveys, and quantitative analysis, we present some insights into how different projects perceive technical debt, how they resolve it, and how technical debt has a different flavour in research software.
