Abstract
An integral part of data science is executing efficient computations on large datasets. Such computations are driven by computer programs, and as problems increase in size and complexity, the accompanying software solutions tend to become larger and more intricate, too. Such software is built by organizations structured around teams. Data science is also a team effort, so effective communication and collaboration is extremely important in both software engineering and data science. Software developed by one team must be comprehensible to other teams to foster use, reuse, and evolution. This is where software maintainability, as a pertinent quality attribute, kicks in. This chapter presents important lessons from the realm of software engineering in the context of data science. The aim is to educate data science practitioners how to craft evolvable programs and increase productivity.
