76
+ 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 />
