REPRODUCIBILITY

Madagascar is an open-source software package for multidimensional data analysis and reproducible computational experiments. Its mission is to provide... for researchers working with digital image and data processing in geophysics and related fields. Technology developed using the Madagascar project management system is transferred in the form of recorded processing histories, which become "computational recipes" to be verified, exchanged, and modified by the users... Madagascar is a modern package. It started in 2003 and was publicly released in 2006. It was developed almost entirely from scratch. It is a relatively new package that follows modern software engineering practices such as module encapsulation and test-driven development. The rapid growth of a project of this scope (more than 1,000 main programs and more than 5,000 tests) would not be possible without standing on the shoulders of giants and learning from the 30 years of previous experience in open packages such as..
