Extreme dynamics: towards a system dynamics model of the extreme programming software development process

<p>In software development process, user can take part in any phase of the process, depending on what model is being applied. Lack of user involvement can result in a poorly designed solution, or even a solution that conflicts with user’s needs. This review paper presents the impact of user involvement in software development process. In this study, different software development processes will be reviewed, show where the user usually gets involved in different models such as: Structural (Waterfall, V-model) and incremental (Scrum-extreme programming XP). As each model differs from the other, each of them has a different perspective of where user should take part and where they should not. This can be an asset that helps project managers, and leaders to develop suitable strategies to follow in their projects.</p>

The Past

Software reuse has been discussed in the literature for the past three decades and is widely seen as one of the major areas for improving productivity. Agile development techniques were first developed in the mid-1990s as a code-oriented method of software development that seeks to improve upon the traditional plan-based methodologies. Both approaches bring value to the software development process. The purpose of this chapter is to propose a framework that will integrate the strengths of code reuse into the Extreme Programming methodology. It is believed that this approach will lead to a more effective method of software development.

Continuous Delivery

eXtreme Programming (XP) is one of new discipline of software development methodology on values of simplicity, communication, feedback and also courage. XP is an explorative and agile development method that seeks to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. XP software development process starts with planning, and all iterations consist of four basic phases in its life cycle: designing, coding, testing, and listening. This paper tends to report the experience in adapting XP in developing electronic document online system for the use of Centre for Diploma Studies, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (eDoc). The project under study is a system that is use to store office documents such as letter in an online database. The objective of this paper is to discuss the XP practices that had been choosed and also the lesson learnt by practising XP in developing eDoc.
