Through this work we have come to value: •Individuals and interactions over processes and tools •Working software over comprehensive documentation •Customer collaboration over contract negotiation •Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.” Kent Beck et al

Effective (rapid and adaptive) response to change Effective communication among all stakeholders Drawing the customer onto the team Organizing a team so that it is in control of the work performed Yielding … Rapid, incremental delivery of software

Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. 2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage. 3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale. 4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project. 5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done. 6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face–to–face conversation.

Working software is the primary measure of progress. 8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. 9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility. 10. Simplicity – the art of maximizing the amount of work not done – is essential. 11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self–organizing teams. 12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

Common focus. Collaboration. Decision-making ability. Fuzzy problem-solving ability. Mutual trust and respect. Self-organization.

These slides are designed to accompany Software Engineering: A Practitioner’s Approach, 7/e (McGraw-Hill, 2009) Slides copyright 2009 by Roger Pressman. 10 Extreme Programming (XP) XP Design Follows the KIS principle Encourage the use of CRC cards (see Chapter 8) For difficult design problems, suggests the creation of “spike solutions”—a design prototype Encourages “refactoring”—an iterative refinement of the internal program design XP Coding Recommends the construction of a unit test for a store before coding commences Encourages “pair programming” XP Testing All unit tests are executed daily “Acceptance tests” are defined by the customer and excuted to assess customer visible functionality
