Some Challenges and Opportunities in Software Engineering in Computational Science and Engineering

Slides that were used for a guest lecture at the University of Michigan Software Engineering course EECS 481.  This lecture proviess:

• overview of computational science and engineering (CSE) and high performance computing (HPC)
• some software engineering challenges that exist in CSE
• key agile technical practices
• legacy software change process (from "Working Effectively with Legacy Code")
• basic agile development workflows
• multi-team, multi-repository integration
• testing and defect detection in challenging CSE environments
• "Research Software Engineer" role and why they are needed in CSE teams
