- Agile (Extreme Programming)Extreme Programming (XP) is a type of Agile software development methodology that promotes adaptability and high customer involvement.
- Steps in the model #1
- Planning: Customers and developers define the scope and priorities, including writing user stories
- Design: Developers create a simple design for the system that can evolve over time
- Coding: Coding is done in small increments with frequent integration and pair programming to ensure quality
- Steps in the model #24. Testing: Continuous testing throughout the coding process, with automated tests developed before or alongside the code5. Integration: Regular and frequent integration of code, with continuous integration tools ensuring that the system works as a whole6. Feedback and Iteration: Constant feedback from stakeholders is used to guide future development cycles, leading to iterative and incremental development
- Agile Programming
- Benefits:
- Highly adaptable: Can quickly respond to changes in requirements, even late in development
- Frequent communication: Encourages constant communication between team members and stakeholders
- Quality focus: Emphasizes technical excellence and good design, with continuous testing throughout the development cycle
- Customer collaboration: Encourages working closely with customers to ensure the developed product meets their needs
- Drawbacks:
- Requires experienced team members: Can be challenging to implement without knowledgeable and skilled developers
- Intensive collaboration can lead to burnout: The constant communication and collaboration can be tiring for team members
- May lack documentation: The focus on adaptability and immediate coding may result in insufficient documentation
- Scope creep: The flexible nature may lead to uncontrolled changes in requirements
- Suitability:
- Extreme Programming is most suitable for small to medium-sized projects where requirements can change and customer involvement is high
