在本文中,我将讨论软件工程师在为科学家开发软件时所面临的两种挑战。第一类挑战来自于科学家开发自己的软件的经验。根据这种经验,他们内化了软件开发模型,但可能没有意识到使这种模型成功的上下文因素。因此,他们有对软件工程师具有挑战性的期望和假设。第二种类型的挑战,虽然不是为科学家开发软件所独有的,但在这种开发的背景下具有特别的意义。这些挑战包括确保有效的用户参与和为社区开发软件。
In this paper, I discuss two types of challenges facing software engineers as they develop software for scientists. The first type is those challenges that arise from the experience that scientists might have of developing their own software. From this experience, they internalise a model of software development but may not realise the contextual factors which make such a model successful. They thus have expectations and assumptions which prove challenging to software engineers. The second type is those challenges which, while not unique to the development of software for scientists, have especial significance in the context of such development. These include the challenges of ensuring effective user engagement and of developing software for a community.
