Code Design and Quality Control

ESM codes have mostly been written directly by scientists, as experts in the various geoscientific domains relevant for these model. This contrasts with commercial forms of software development, where there is usually a clear division of labour between systems analysts, who determine what the system should do, and programmers, who are responsible for writing the code.
