Research software increasingly benefits from the systematic application of research software engineering principles. In this work, we present the software engineering influences on the design and development of a research software framework for geological modeling, shaping its architectural design and development methodology. We discuss how software engineering concepts contribute to a more robust and reusable workbench for geoscientific research, and how in general, software engineering standards can significantly improve research software development.
