56th HiRSE Seminar
On Monday, 14th September at 14:00 CEST, Guido Juckeland from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) will join us at the HiRSE Seminar Series to talk about “EVERSE: A suite of tools and services to measure and improve software quality”
Abstract:
As research software becomes increasingly recognized as a first-class scientific output, ensuring its quality, sustainability, and reusability remains a critical challenge across disciplines. The EVERSE (European Virtual Institute for Research Software Excellence) project aims to drive a cultural shift by establishing a collaborative, community-driven framework for research software quality. This presentation introduces the EVERSE tool ecosystem, designed to share knowledge, practically assess and enhance their research software.
We will showcase a suite of integrated, open-source services developed to bridge the gap between quality theory and technical implementation:
- RSQkit (Research Software Quality Kit): A comprehensive knowledge base gathering community-curated best practices, guidelines, and training resources.
- EVERSE TechRadar: A visual dashboard and catalogue of curated tools and services that facilitate the practical implementation of software quality standards across various domains.
- Quality Pipelines: Reusable, automated CI/CD workflows designed to integrate quality assurance seamlessly into the daily research software development lifecycle.
- DashVERSE: A central, role-based dashboard prototype built on a defined framework of quality indicators. DashVERSE visualizes quality assessments and compliance metrics, translating complex data into actionable insights tailored for diverse stakeholders–from RSEs and Principal Investigators to policy makers.
