Bioinformatics software varies greatly in quality. In terms of usability, the command line interface is the first experience a user will have of a tool. Unfortunately, this is often also the last time a tool will be used. Here I present ten recommendations for command line software author's tools to follow, which I believe would greatly improve the uptake and usability of their products, waste less user's time, and improve the quality of scientific analyses.
生物信息学软件的质量差异很大。就可用性而言,命令行界面是用户首次体验工具的方式。不幸的是,这通常也是用户最后一次使用该工具。在这里,我提出了十个关于命令行软件作者工具的建议,我相信这些建议将极大地提高产品的采用率和可用性,减少用户的时间浪费,并提高科学分析的质量。
