What is Extreme Programming?
Extreme Programming (XP) is an agile software development methodology that takes the best practices of software development to their extreme levels. It emphasizes customer satisfaction, teamwork, and rapid delivery through frequent releases in short development cycles.
Customer Focus
XP prioritizes customer satisfaction through continuous feedback and rapid delivery of working software.
Team Collaboration
Emphasizes pair programming, collective code ownership, and continuous communication among team members.
Quality Assurance
Built-in quality through test-driven development, continuous integration, and frequent refactoring.
Adaptive Planning
Flexible planning that adapts to changing requirements and customer needs throughout the project.
XP Values
Communication
Open and honest communication between all team members, customers, and stakeholders to ensure everyone understands the project goals and progress.
Simplicity
Keep the design and code as simple as possible to meet current requirements, avoiding unnecessary complexity and future-proofing.
Feedback
Rapid feedback loops through testing, customer reviews, and continuous integration to catch and fix issues early.
Courage
The courage to make difficult decisions, refactor code when needed, and discard work that doesn't add value.
Respect
Mutual respect among team members, valuing each person's contribution and treating everyone with dignity.
XP Practices
Pair Programming
Two developers work together at one workstation, with one writing code and the other reviewing it in real-time.
Test-Driven Development
Write tests before writing code, ensuring that all functionality is covered and the code meets requirements.
Continuous Integration
Frequently integrate and test code changes to detect and fix integration problems early.
Refactoring
Continuously improve code structure without changing its external behavior to maintain simplicity and readability.
