The growth of the software industry has gone hand in hand with the development of tools and cultural practices
77+
for ensuring the reliability of complex pieces of software. These tools and practices are now acknowledged
78+
to be essential to the management of modern software. As computational models and methods have become
79+
increasingly common in the biological sciences, it is important to examine how these practices can accelerate
80+
biological software development and improve research quality. In this article, we give a focused case study
81+
of our experience with the practices of unit testing and test-driven development in OpenWorm, an open-science
82+
project aimed at modeling Caenorhabditis elegans. We identify and discuss the challenges of incorporating
83+
test-driven development into a heterogeneous, data-driven project, as well as the role of model validation
84+
tests, a category of tests unique to software which expresses scientific models.<br/>
