Learning how to program in an environment where there are rapidly tangible results is fun and allows one to learn faster. There are several compelling reasons you should consider this strategy: 1. There are many slight variations on both Agile and Extreme programming. Extreme Programming (XP) happens to be the most well-known of agile methodologies and will be explored further. Extreme Programming Practice Pair Programming. For success of pair programming, it is necessary that both the partners understand the value of collaboration in programming, the benefits, and the joy of the experience. But pair programming adoption is 13% higher among teams with successful agile development when compared to teams with unsuccessful agile practices. Because we believe this works well for our organization, we also pair program with any potential candidates. And, surprisingly, your team's overall efficiency will improve, too. The following sections are an excerpt of this publication that help you in becoming effective pair programmers. As a practice, pair programming originates from the extreme programming (XP) methodology, which prioritizes high software quality and frequent tests and releases. Pair Programming - also known as Peer Programming - is an extreme programming technique in which programmers work in a pair at one workstation. Extreme programming (XP) is a software development methodology, which is intended to improve software quality and responsiveness to changing customer requirements. Writing unit tests before programming and keeping all of the tests running at all times. This is because −. Extreme programming is about getting feedback earlier in the process. It’s not something that you can force your team to do. It is expected that the different experiences of the two members of one team would provide more efficient resources to write the codes. Two heads are better than one. XP was one of the first agile methods, indeed XP was the dominant agile method in the late 90s and early 00s before Scrum became dominant as the noughties passed. It works on the principle that two people forms a pair and are definitely better than one. These five fundamental values provide the foundation on which the entirety of the Extreme Programming paradigm is built, allowing the people involved in the project to feel confident in the direction the project is taking and to understand their personal feedback and insight is as necessary and welcome as anyone else. The programmer at the keyboard is usually called the “driver”, the other, also actively involved in the programming task but focusing more on overall direction is the “navigator”; it is expected that the programmers swap roles every few minutes or so. Pair programming is also the hardest practice to integrate. It’s highly social and interactive, so you should be able to detect pairs that may have problems with each other, such as clashing personalities or even problems with personal hygiene. Together as a pair, you can solve problems that you could not solve alone. It involves analysis of the hypothesis for the design before it is being created. XP might be called a sociological-oriented approach to developing software. Any negative thoughts in this aspect are to be put in trash can. Pairs spent 15% more time on the program than individuals. Extreme Programming (XP) is an agile software development framework that aims to produce higher quality software, and higher quality of life for the development team. Each iteration has its own planning, design, coding, testing, and release…
