Chaste: A test-driven approach to software development for biological modelling

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018)

Abstract
Chaste (‘Cancer, heart and soft-tissue environment’) is a software library and a set of test suites for computational simulations in the domain of biology. Current functionality has arisen from modelling in the fields of cancer, cardiac physiology and soft-tissue mechanics. It is released under the LGPL 2.1 licence. Chaste has been developed using agile programming methods. The project began in 2005 when it was reasoned that the modelling of a variety of physiological phenomena required both...

Title of program: Chaste
Catalogue Id: AEFD_v1_0

Nature of problem
Chaste may be used for solving coupled ODE and PDE systems arising from modelling biological systems. Use of Chaste in two application areas are described in this paper: cardiac electrophysiology and intestinal crypt dynamics.
