Suggestion of RE and TDD-based V&V Development Process for Scientific Software Implementation

Abstract

Scientific software requires a development process different from conventional application software due to its unique characteristics, such as expert-level deep domain knowledge requirements. In this study, we proposed a V & V development process based on RE (Reverse Engineering) and TDD (Test-Driven Development) for software development for science. We also configured a virtual scenario for the actual project, applied it, checked the procedure, and refined it. The development process of this study, suggested for the purpose of developing scientific software, will contribute to the development and application of the software that can provide high quality and high reliability. And This study is expected to serve as an opportunity for the development of scientific software and the spread of research.
