Ten Simple Rules for Developing Usable Software in Computational Biology

[...]scientific software is often poorly documented, non-intuitive, non-robust with regards to input data and parameters, and hard to install. Usable software should offer the features needed and behave as expected by the community. [...]a new tool needs to provide substantial novelty over existing...

Zusammenfassung:	[...]scientific software is often poorly documented, non-intuitive, non-robust with regards to input data and parameters, and hard to install. Usable software should offer the features needed and behave as expected by the community. [...]a new tool needs to provide substantial novelty over existing solutions. [...]it is imperative to provide demo data that enable users to immediately interact with the software.
