Prof. Bob Jacobsen

Description

First, we discuss some of the characteristics of software projects for high energy physics, and some of the issues that arise when people want to contribute to them. We then continue with a brief introduction to software engineering from the perspective of the individual contributor, both as a formal process and how it actually affects what you do. We discuss the examples of unit testing and memory access problems.
