“…In order to generate highquality data products and serve them through a common data archive, sound software development procedures were necessary to ensure production-ready reliable software. In an effort to address these common requirements, the Herschel Common Software System (HCSS) 4 was envisioned [10,11]. The HCSS development was coordinated by observatory staff (ESA) developers.…”

“…The selection of Java TM and Jython in the late 1990s was a departure from the astronomy community's accepted standards of Interactive Data Language (IDL R ) 10 for image processing and CLASS 11 for heterodyne spectral processing. This resulted in additional overhead with regards to developing and validating the data processing algorithms as well as documenting and instructing users in how to use the provided functionality.…”

The HIFI data processing pipeline was developed to systematically process diagnostic, calibration and astronomical observations taken with the HIFI science instrument as part of the Herschel mission. The HIFI pipeline processed data from all HIFI observing modes within the Herschel automated processing environment, as well as, within an interactive environment. A common software framework was developed to best support the use cases required by the instrument teams and by the general astronomers. The HIFI pipeline was built on top of that and was designed with a high degree of modularity. This modular design provided the necessary flexibility and extensibility to deal with the complexity of batch-processing eighteen different observing modes, to support the astronomers in the interactive analysis and to cope with adjustments necessary to improve the pipeline and the quality of the end-products. This approach to the software development and data processing effort was arrived at by coalescing the lessons learned from similar research based projects with the understanding that a degree of foresight was required given the overall length of the project. In this article, both the successes and challenges of the HIFI software development process are presented. To support future similar projects and retain experience gained lessons learned are extracted.
