The EVERSE TechRadar contains a catalogue of tools and services for research software quality designed to assess, measure, and improve the quality of software developed for research purposes and a visual dashboard to display the catalogue.
The present catalogue includes tools and services that incorporate features that address the unique requirements of research software, including but not limited to:
-
Analysis of source code to identify potential issues, vulnerabilities, and adherence to coding standards specific to research contexts.
-
Evaluation of software against research-specific quality attributes such as reproducibility and FAIRness (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability).
-
Support for community standards and best practices relevant to specific research disciplines.
-
Metrics and measurements tailored to assess both technical aspects and research-oriented factors.
-
Capabilities to analyse and improve research software quality throughout the research software lifecycle, from development to long-term sustainability.
These tools aim to enhance the overall quality, reliability, and reusability of research software, ultimately contributing to the reproducibility and impact of scientific research.
We welcome content contributions to the catalogue (see our contribution guidelines) in the form of JSON files describing tools and services for research software quality.
After review from our curation team, the entry will be added to our catalogue as JSON file.
New versions of the TechRadar will be published regularly. You can find all the releases at the releases page.
The catalogue of tools and services is presented in a visual dashboard at https://everse.software/TechRadar/.
All developer setup, run, lint, build, formatting, and validation instructions are documented in web/README.md.
For contribution and review workflow, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
