Extreme programming (XP) is a software development methodology intended to improve software quality and responsiveness to changing customer requirements. As a type of agile software development, [1] [2] [3] it advocates frequent releases in short development cycles, intended to improve productivity and introduce checkpoints at which new customer requirements can be adopted.
You aren't gonna need it" [1] [2] (YAGNI) [3] is a principle which arose from extreme programming (XP) that states a programmer should not add functionality until deemed necessary. [4] Other forms of the phrase include "You aren't going to need it" (YAGTNI) [ 5 ] [ 6 ] and "You ain't gonna need it".
The coding standard may be a standard conventions specified by the language vendor (e.g. The Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language, recommended by Sun), or custom defined by the development team. Extreme Programming backers advocate code that is self-documenting to the furthest degree possible.
A spike is a product development method originating from extreme programming that uses the simplest possible program to explore potential solutions. [1] It is used to determine how much work will be required to solve or work around a software issue.
TDD is related to the test-first programming concepts of extreme programming, begun in 1999, [2] but more recently has created more general interest in its own right. [3] Programmers also apply the concept to improving and debugging legacy code developed with older techniques. [4]
Kent Beck speaking in 2001. Kent Beck (born 1961) is an American software engineer and the creator of extreme programming, [1] a software development methodology that eschews rigid formal specification for a collaborative and iterative design process.
Unit testing is the cornerstone of extreme programming, which relies on an automated unit testing framework. This automated unit testing framework can be either third party, e.g., xUnit, or created within the development group. Extreme programming uses the creation of unit tests for test-driven development. The developer writes a unit test that ...
It also contains programming paradigms, software development methodologies, software development processes, and single practices, principles, and laws. Some of the mentioned methods are more relevant to a specific field than another, such as automotive or aerospace.
