Planning Extreme Programming

Planning Extreme Programming Image
Planning is critical; without it, software projects can quickly fall apart. Written by acknowledged XP authorities Kent Beck and Martin Fowler, Planning Extreme Programming presents the approaches, methods, and advice needed to plan and track a successful Extreme Programming project. The key XP philosophy: Planning is not a one-time event, but a constant process of reevaluation and course-correction throughout the lifecycle of the project. Students will learn how planning is essential to controlling workload, reducing programmer stress, increasing productivity, and keeping projects on track. Planning Extreme Programming also focuses on the importance of estimating the cost and time for each user story (requirement), determining its priority, and plan...

Pattern-Oriented Analysis and Design

Composing Patterns to Design Software Systems
Pattern-Oriented Analysis and Design Image
Software experts agree: the most difficult aspect of building software is not coding; it is the decisions the designer makes in the early stages. Those decisions live with the system for the rest of its lifetime. Good designs beget good software. Bad designs beget trouble. Designers are faced with a tough question: how do they know whether their designs are good or bad? Design patterns can provide valid judgment criteria for software designers. While a great deal of effort has been devoted to discovering new design patterns, very little effort has been spent on developing a process for "gluing" or "composing" design patterns to better develop software applications. This book specifically addresses this need, and explains the Patte...

2nd Edition
'In this second edition of Extreme Programming Explained, Kent Beck organizes and presents five years' worth of experiences, growth, and change revolving around XP. If you are seriously interested in understanding how you and your team can start down the path of improvement with XP, you must read this book. Francesco Cirillo, Chief Executive Officer, XPLabs S.R.L. 'The first edition of this book told us what XP wasit changed the way many of us think about software development. This second edition takes it farther and gives us a lot more of the why' of XP, the motivations and the principles behind the practices. This is great stuff. Armed with the what...

Extreme Programming Applied

Playing to Win
Extreme Programming Applied Image
Extreme Programming (XP) is a fundamentally different way to create software: simple, yet disciplined, lightweight yet powerful, flexible yet rigorous. It's catching on like wildfire, as developers who try it discover not only its effectiveness, but the pleasure it returns to their work. Extreme Programming Applied is the place to start for any developer or project manager preparing to use XP for the first time. In this book, two pioneers in XP practice offer a complete introduction to applying XP at all stages of the software development lifecycle -- design, testing, implementation, and deployment. They introduce XP's key principles in the context of actual development challenges, explaining why XP's "soft" approach is more appropriate to ...

A Practical Guide to Testing Object-Oriented Software

A Practical Guide to Testing Object-Oriented Software Image
While developers and IT organizations increasingly acknowledge the importance of software testing, few know how to proceed -- especially when it comes to testing advanced object-oriented software systems. In this book, two leading O-O test researchers and consultants outline a start-to-finish methodology for testing: what to test, why to test it, how to test it, who should do the testing, and when. The book is organized around a task orientation, encompassing testing models; testing components, systems and subsystems; and planning for testing. The authors review the unique challenges associated with object-oriented software testing, offer practical insights into testing priorities, introduce each leading testing technique, and walk step-by-step throu...
