What is Extreme Programming (XP)?<\/h2>\n

Extreme programming is basically software development procedures designed and created to improve software quality as well as the ability it has to adapt to the ever-changing needs of users of that particular software.<\/p>\n

The first to develop the Extreme Programming Methodology<\/a> was Ken Beck around the mid and even late nineties. At the time, software used to manage the payrolls in large organizations known as Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation Systems is what he was working on. <\/p>\n

“Extreme Programming Explained<\/a>” (Click to see reviews on Amazon) is a book he published in October 1999 and the book explains the entire methodology to others.<\/p>\n

Extreme Programming<\/a> and Agile processes of development have a few similar characteristics. One of them is that they both aim at producing frequent and iterative small releases during the course of the project. <\/p>\n

This allows both the clients and team members to review and examine the software project’s progress during the entire process.<\/p>\n

This type of programming prescribes a set of daily practices that developers and managers should adhere to. The main objective of these practices is to encourage and embody some particular values.<\/p>\n

Experts believe when you when you exercise these practices, they will inevitably lead to development procedures that are much more responsive to client needs while still creating and designing software that is of better or similar quality.<\/p>\n

The 5 Core Values of Extreme Programming<\/h2>\n

Here are the five core values:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Communication<\/strong>Software development is more or less a team sport and no team can function effectively without proper communication. Team members need proper communication to be able to transfer knowledge effectively between one another. Extreme Programming stresses the importance of proper kinds of communication.<\/li>\n
  2. Simplicity<\/strong>XP is all about using the simple things that have proved to work. Why simplicity is a major factor to avoid wastage so as to only do the things that are absolutely necessary. An example of the simple things XP stresses over is keeping software designs as simple as you can which makes maintenance, support and revision so much easier.<\/li>\n
  3. Feedback<\/strong>Constant feedback concerning the previous efforts of the team allows the team to clearly identify the areas that need revision as well as improvement. Constant feedback also greatly supports simple designs. Your team builds what they need to build, gathers constructive feedback on implementation and design, and then make adjustments to your software product as you move forward.<\/li>\n
  4. Courage<\/strong>Kent Beck in his book “Extreme Programming Explained” defines courage as the preference of action based principles whereby the results are not harmful to your team. For one to raise organizational issues that involve the effectiveness of the team. For you to stop doing the things that don’t work you’ll need the courage to try something else. Finally, you’ll also need courage when accepting and acting on feedback especially when it’s negative.<\/li>\n
  5. Respect<\/strong>If your team members want to communicate with each other effectively, accept as well as provide constructive feedback and work with each other properly, and cohesively work together, then they’ll need to learn how to respect each other as a whole.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
