Principles of Extreme Programming
1 Feedback 2 Simplicity
XP emphasizes continuous feedback from customers and XP promotes building the simplest solution possible,
stakeholders throughout the development process. focusing on functionality and avoiding unnecessary
complexity.
3 Courage 4 Respect
XP encourages developers to take risks and embrace XP fosters a respectful and collaborative environment
change, knowing that they can adapt quickly to evolving where everyone's contributions are valued.
requirements.
Continuous Integration and Testing
1 Frequent Integration
Developers integrate their code changes into the main branch frequently, typically several times a day.
2 Automated Testing
XP emphasizes automated testing, ensuring that new code does not break existing functionality.
3 Immediate Feedback
Continuous integration and testing provide rapid feedback to developers, allowing them to identify and fix issues
promptly.
Pair Programming
Increased Code uality Knowledge Sharing Improved Communication
Pair programming promotes code Pairing fosters knowledge sharing and Pair programming encourages constant
reviews in real-time, leading to better cross-training, making the team more communication and collaboration,
code quality and fewer bugs. resilient and adaptable. leading to better understanding and
problem-solving.
Simplicity in Design
Prioritize Functionality
1 Focus on delivering working software first and avoid unnecessary features or complexities.
Refactor Regularly
2 Refactor code to improve its structure and maintainability, ensuring it remains simple and efficient.
