Scientific Code and Unit Tests – The Hidden Power of Good Testing Practices

🧪 Unit tests in scientific software? Absolutely — and here’s why. In this sharp and insightful talk at Gray Scott School 2025, Sébastien Valat explores the importance of unit testing in high-performance and scientific software development. Drawing from real-world experience in HPC environments, he breaks the myth that testing is "only for web devs" — and shows how testing can reveal bugs earlier, document intent, and help future-proof your research code. This lecture covers testing strategies tailored to computational science, including mocking, test coverage, portability, and test integration in CI pipelines. 📌 In this talk: Why testing scientific code is harder (but more necessary) Unit testing strategies for numerical simulations Dealing with floating-point instability and non-determinism How to test algorithms with random inputs or evolving data Integrating tests in HPC workflows (CMake, GitLab CI, etc.) The long-term benefits of well-tested research software 🎓 A must-watch for scientific developers, PhD students, and engineers writing reusable scientific code.
