Extreme Programming (XP) has been established as a significant departure from traditional software development methods. The success of the XP 2001 and XP Universe 2001 conferences is no surprise; some of the brightest minds in software engineering gathered at these venues to discuss the discipline that is XP. These conferences showcase the continuously changing face of XP. Common programming practices will never be the same, and developers and business people alike need to bear this fact in mind as they plan for the future.Inspired by the techniques and challenges explored at these conferences, Extreme Programming Perspectives presents 47 articles that represent the insights and practical wisdom of the leaders of the XP community. Encompassing a wide variety of key topics on XP and other agile methodologies, this book offers experience-based techniques for implementing XP effectively and provides successful transitioning strategies. Articles are grouped into six main sections: an overview of XP and agile methodologies; XP development practices; issues involved in transitioning to XP and agile methodologies; real-life experiences of working with XP; tools for facilitating XP development; and finally, ideas for expanding and extending XP.You will find such outstanding articles as:Circle of Life, Spiral of Death: Ways to Keep Your XP Project Alive and Ways to Kill It, by Ron JeffriesAgile Software Development-Why It Is Hot!, by Jim HighsmithAn Introduction to Testing, XP-Style, by Don WellsIncreasing the Effectiveness of Automated Testing, by Shaun Smith and Gerard MeszarosThe System Metaphor Explored, by William Wake and Steven WakePair Programming: Why Have Two Do the Work of One?, by Laurie WilliamsA Metric Suite for Evaluating the Effectiveness of an Agile Methodology, by Laurie Williams, Giancarlo Succi, and Michele MarchesiThe Five Reasons XP Can't Scale and What to Do about Them, by Ron CrockerKeep Your Options Open: Extreme Programming and the Economics of Flexibility, by Hakan Erdogmus and John FavaroExtreme Programming from a CMM Perspective, by Mark C. PaulkThe contributions in this book comprise the best practices in Extreme Programming across a number of industries. Those already involved in XP development, or anyone interested in transitioning to this flexible approach, will find this book a fascinating and valuable resource for leveraging the power of XP and agile methodologies.

Helps the reader gain perspective on Extreme Programming, and sort out the best way to implement this practice in their organization.@BULLET = Includes contributions from Extreme Programming luminaries such as Kent Beck, Martin Fowler, Ward Cunningham, Ron Jeffries, and more.@BULLET = Contains the best papers from the world's two leading Extreme Programming XP 2001 and XP Universe.@BULLET = Helps organizations fully understand, transition to, and overcome the common challenges of Extreme Programming.@SUMMARY = For some, Extreme Programming represents a new set of rules, for others it is a humanistic set of values, and to still others it is a very dangerous over simplification of software development. Anyway you slice it, Extreme Programming is thought-provoking and controversial. Extreme Programming Perspectives collects the best papers from the world's two leading XP conferences, and presents this information in a handy, easily-digestible format that allows reader to determine whether XP is a prudent undertaking for their organization, and how their organization can optimize their XP initiatives. The book contains contributions from the most renowned names in the XP field, including Kent Beck, Martin Fowler, Ward Cunningham, and Ron Jeffries. Despite the growing acceptance of XP, readers need information to understand and optimize this agile method. They need to place XP in perspective. This book provides what they need.@AUTHBIO = Giancarlo Succi is a Professor of Software Engineering at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alberta. Michele Marchesi is professor of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Cagliari, Italy. Together, Succi and Marchesi are co-authors of Extreme Programming Examined (AW, 2001). Don Wells has more than 20 years programming experience; in 1996 he worked on the Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation project followed by the VCAPS project where Extreme Programming was successfully applied. Laurie Williams is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at North Carolina State University. Helping the reader gain perspective on extreme programming, this text shows how best to implement this practice in an organization. It contains papers from the worlds two leading Extreme programming conferences XP 2001 and XP Universe.
