Software Development
Development of CESSDA tools and services is carried out using CESSDA-owned git-repositories on GitHub.
If the code is developed publicly elsewhere, mirroring with clear pointers to the upstream are used.
All software development should follow common best practices and the DRY-principle. At a minimum, the recommendations of the EURISE Network Technical Reference, v0.2 must be followed.
To assess the fitness for CESSDA purposes, software systems must pass the quality gate.
In certain cases, CESSDA can archive source code repositories of abandoned software development efforts.
