We present a mapping of Best Practices from the field of software engineering to the practice of discrete event simulation model construction. There are obvious parallels between the two activities. We therefore hypothesize there should be opportunities to improve the model construction process by taking advantage of these parallels. This research extends the prior work (Withers 1993) that provided a structured definition of the modeling process.
