PTG - Programming Techniques Group

The Programming Techniques Group in the ECP Division at CERN was formed in 1990, to help the teams that produce software for and within CERN experiments to improve software development productivity and quality. This task is challenging due to the traditional independence of the development teams, and the fact that many groups co-develop with Universities and Laboratories located in Europe and around the world.

The software improvement activities, often with direct participation to projects in experiments, focus on: INFORMATION for the people involved, the organisation of the overall software development PROCESS, and the appropriate METHODS and TOOLS.

The group is also active in Information and Documentations Systems for experiments, mostly using WWW.
