Abstract

Maintaining and improving research software is a key challenge for scientists and research software engineers. Research software is often developed by multiple scientists and existing code bases are extended separately.
For community software, gatekeepers review contributions. However, long-term maintenance of the code is not a primary goal, as scientists are encouraged to publish instead of improving code quality. Also, scientists are often not trained in software development. This can produce complex and tightly coupled code that is difficult to understand.

To revise such software, we introduce tools to recover the software architecture and (semi-)automatically suggest changes to the overall structure.
