+
 
 +
* Wiki documentation of project aims, methods and success
 +
* Use git (from beginning of project)
 +
* Submission of complete source code and any auxiliary files to GitHub
 +
* Basic code documentation for outside developers
 +
* Detailed installation or setup instructions for users (if applicable)
 +
** for web servers: provide [https://www.docker.io/ Docker] container of your server (details are being worked on by iGEM headquarters)
 +
* Basic user guide
 +
 
 +
===Silver Medal===
 +
 
 +
In addition to the Bronze Medal requirements:
 +
 
 +
#Follow best practises in software development so that other developers can modify, use and re-use your code.
 +
#Provide a comprehensive and well-designed User Guide.
 +
#Demonstrate the relevance of your development for Synthetic Biology.
 +
 
 +
''Detailed Technical Requirements:''
 +
 
 +
* Detailed API documentation, preferably, automatically built from source code documentation (use tools like doxygen, yard, rdoc, naturaldocs, etc)
 +
* more than one realistic test case
 +
* automated unit tests, documentation of test coverage
 +
* collect one bonus point (see below)
 +
 
 +
===Gold Medal===
 +
 
 +
To earn a Gold Medal, in addition to the Silver Medal requirements, a team must:
 +
 
 +
#Provide a convincing validation, testing the performance of their development -- experimental or by other teams. Note, even if the algorithm turns out not to work, they can still get Gold if their test is good and the analysis convincing.
 +
#Show how their software effects Human Practices in Synthetic Biology. This may include: ethics, sharing, innovation and creative process, ownership, safety, or security.
 +
 
 +
''Detailed Technical Requirements:''
 +
 
 +
* good test coverage
 +
* excellent installation-, user- and developer documentation
 +
* collect 3 bonus points (see below)
 +
 
 +
===Bonus points===
 +
 
 +
None of the bonus points are a strict requirement but you have to collect at least one or three of them in order to earn the Silver or Gold medal, respectively.
 +
 
 +
* 2-3 points for: experimental validation of your software or algorithm (experiments can be outsourced to other teams, labs or companies)
 +
* 1 point for: use and support of [http://www.sbolstandard.org SBOL]
 +
* 1 point for: re-use and further development of previous iGEM software projects (or parts thereof)
 +
* 1 point for: use and/or improvement of existing synthetic biology tools or frameworks
 +
* 1 point for: development of a well documented library for other developers rather than "only" stand-alone Apps for end users
 +
* 1-2 points for: surprising us with something that is so cool or new that we would have never thought of it
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Please note, these requirements are preliminary and will still be changed and fine-tuned by the software committee. Feel free to contact the software committee to ask for clarification or participate in the discussion.
