Sustainable software development requires the software to remain accessible and maintainable over long time. This is particularly challenging in a scientific context. For example, fewer than one third of tools and platforms for biological network representation, analysis, and visualisation have been available and supported over a period of 15 years. One of those tools is Vanted, which has been developed and actively supported over the past 20 years. In this work, we discuss sustainable software development in science and investigate which software tools for biological network representation, analysis, and visualisation are maintained over a period of at least 15 years. With Vanted as a case study, we highlight five key insights that we consider crucial for sustainable, long-term software development and software maintenance in science.
可持续软件开发要求软件在很长时间内都能保持可访问性和可维护性。这在科学领域尤其具有挑战性。例如，在长达15年的时间里，用于生物网络表示、分析和可视化的工具及平台中，只有不到三分之一仍可使用并得到支持。其中一个工具是Vanted，它在过去20年里得到了开发并一直得到积极支持。在这项工作中，我们讨论科学领域的可持续软件开发，并调查哪些用于生物网络表示、分析和可视化的软件工具在至少15年的时间里得到了维护。以Vanted为例，我们突出了五个关键见解，我们认为这些见解对于科学领域的可持续长期软件开发和软件维护至关重要。
