Legacy Code: Treasure to Cherish, Pain to Maintain, Part 3

In our practice as scientific software engineers at VORtech, we work for organizations that have computational software as an essential part of their intellectual capital. If successful, a computational software package can exist for many years and even decades. At the same time however, the code base grows and becomes more and more difficult to manage. This is part 3 of a series of blogs in which we discuss how to deal with legacy code.
