Extreme programming

Series: XP Series

Kent Beck describes how to improve your software development by integrating these highly desirable concepts into your daily development process.

The first edition of Extreme Programming Explained is a classic. It won awards for its then-radical ideas for improving small-team development, such as having developers write automated tests for their own code and having the whole team plan weekly. Much has changed in five years. This edition expands the scope of XP to teams of any size by suggesting a program of continuous improvement based on:

Five core values consistent with excellence in software development

Eleven principles for putting those values into action

Thirteen primary and eleven corollary practices to help you push development past its current business and technical limitations

Whether you have a small team that is already closely aligned with your customers or a large team in a gigantic or multinational organszation, you will find in these pages a wealth of ideas to challenge, inspire, and encourage you and your team members to substantially improve your software development.

You will discover how to:

Involve the whole team—XP style

Increase technical collaboration through pair programming and continuous integration

Reduce defects through developer testing

Align business and technical decisions through weekly and quarterly planning

Improve teamwork by setting up an informative, shared workspace
