Position paper: Towards usability as a first-class quality of HPC scientific software

Milewicz, Reed M.; Rodeghero, Paige

The modern HPC scientific software ecosystem is instrumental to the practice of science. However, software can only fulfill that role if it is readily usable. In this position paper, we discuss usability in the context of scientific software development, how usability engineering can be incorporated into current practice, and how software engineering research can help satisfy that objective.
