A Software Engineering project depends significantly on team performance, as does any activity that involves human interaction. In the last years, the traditional perspective on software development is changing and Agile methods have received ...

Ever since the agile manifesto was created in 2001, the research community has devoted a great deal of attention to agile software development. This article examines publications and citations to illustrate how the research on agile has progressed in ...

Extreme Programming (XP) is an agile software production methodology based on organizational foundations collected in so-called practices. One of them: On-site Customer is focused on frequent and intensive involvement of customer representative in ...

Any computing system operates in and provides support for a particular environment. The importance of conducting an appropriate analysis of that environment or context is frequently stressed. Despite this, it is often overlooked in the development of ...

This study explores interruption patterns among software developers who program in pairs versus those who program solo. Ethnographic observations indicate that interruption length, content, type, occurrence time, and interrupter and interruptee ...

A fleet of emerging agile methods of software development (with eXtreme Programming and Scrum being the most broadly used) is both gaining popularity and generating lots of controversy. This high-level tutorial gives an overview of agile methods and ...

This paper proposes a way of extending eXtreme Programming (XP) practices, in particular the original planning game and the coding guidelines, to aid the developers and the customer to engineer security requirements while maintaining the iterative and ...

A fleet of emerging agile methods is both gaining popularity and generating lots of controversy. Real-world examples argue for (e.g. [4]) and against (e.g. [6]) agile methods. Several leading software engineering experts suggest that synthesizing the ...

Research was conducted on using agile methods in software engineering education. This paper explores the perceptions of students from five different academic levels of agile practices. Information has been gathered through the collection of quantitative ...

At the heart of the ICSE-2005 program are the 44 research papers selected by the Program Committee (PC) from the 313 submissions to the conference. All submissions were rigorously reviewed by the PC -- each submission received reviews from at least ...

In this plenary panel session, three distinguished scholars of design will provide a range of perspectives on a science of design for software and software-intensive systems. The session will include brief presentations by the panelists as well as ...

"Maintenance is really the normal state of an XP project" - Beck. Thus porting is a natural candidate for eXtreme Programming and we present a novel tool-based XP methodology for porting C/C++ programs. The structure provided by our tooling is designed ...

Criticism is sometimes leveled at the academic Software Engineering community on the basis that current educational practices are too document-centric. Both students and practitioners have suggested that one of the popular, lighter-weight, agile methods ...

This Report discusses how a web-based application development project adopted XP and passed its first ISO audit. The practitioners report will consist of background material, a discussion of XP-friendly practices that the development team adopted, a ...

Many embedded development environments are stuck somewhere in the backwash of software technology. Structured programming practices, with the artifacts of those methodologies liberally scattered about, are the norm in these environments. The world has ...

Is it possible to do fixed-price eXtreme Programming projects? How does one bid on a project with changing scope? When is the project finished? These questions and others were addressed in the context of a successful project modeling infection and ...
