SUMMARY:Exploring Sustainability in Scientific Software through Code Quali
 ty & Test Coverage Metrics
DESCRIPTION:Sheikh Md. Mushfiqur Rahman (University of Tennessee), Gregory
  Watson (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), and Nasir Eisty (University of Te
 nnessee)\n\n<em>Context:</em> Scientific open-source software (SciOSS) pla
 ys a foundational role in research and engineering, yet its long-term sust
 ainability has often been overlooked and remains a significant concern. <e
 m>Objective:</em> This study investigates the long-term sustainability of 
 SciOSS through code and test quality metrics. <em>Method:</em> We analyze 
 CASS Software Portfolio projects, classifying them by sustainability and c
 omparing their code structure, test coverage, and links between code quali
 ty and testing across the dataset. <em>Results:</em> Sustainable projects 
 show higher, more consistent test coverage and clearer code–test correlati
 ons, while unsustainable ones show weaker patterns. Overall, test coverage
  is low in scientific software, and high complexity and coupling reduce te
 stability. <em>Conclusion:</em> In this study, we present a practical, dat
 a-driven approach for assessing sustainability in scientific software, off
 ering a foundation for evaluating long-term software health and supporting
  future efforts in quality assurance and sustainability monitoring.\n\nDom
