v1.0

EVERSE TechRadar v1.0

This first stable release delivers the EVERSE Technology Radar for tools and services that improve research software quality, with a curated catalog, a visual dashboard, and an automated pipeline from JSON-LD metadata to a navigable static site.

Highlights

• Visual TechRadar dashboard

  • forked from AOE Technology Radar, modified to handle any number of rings in https://github.com/EVERSE-ResearchSoftware/aoe_technology_radar
  • 11 quality dimensions (segments): Compatibility, FAIRness, Flexibility, Functional Suitability, Interaction Capability, Maintainability, Performance Efficiency, Reliability, Safety, Security, Sustainability.
  • 3 rings (application categories): Analysis Code, Prototype Tool, Research Infra Software.
  • Built-in filters (tags), search and overview pages, per-segment pages, and “New/Changed” flags support.

• Curated research software quality catalog

  • 65 JSON-LD tool entries, covering static analysis, CI/CD, documentation, packaging, sustainability, FAIR assessment, provenance/archiving, security scanning, and more.
  • Representative tools include Bandit, Bearer, Black, DVC, Jupyter, Pytest, Jenkins/GitHub Actions, Sphinx, SonarQube, Zenodo, Software Heritage, SCANOSS, Valgrind, Playwright, mkdocs, and others.

• Python script generate_techradar_markdowns.py converts JSON-LD into per-dimension Markdown “blips,” tagging usage modes, licenses, and languages; handles multi-dimensional tools.

• Validation and formatting

  • JSON Schema-based validation with pytest
  • Prettier checks/auto-fix for data/software-tools/*.json.
