Leibniz MMS Days 2025 - Mini Workshop

Thiele, Jan Philipp (Weierstras Institute Berlin)

Easy to use tools for software quality

Software quality is often seen as synonymous with test driven development which is certainly an important part. But it does take some time to set up and write tests.

There are, however, more tools, e.g. 'linters' and 'formatters', that require minimal setup, if any. In this hands-on workshop we will learn about these tools and use them to fix a small Python program.

While the example is in Python, many similar tools exist for other languages and they will be listed in the workshop material.
