Extreme programming

There are several flavors of the agile iterative process. The most popular ones are the Rational Unified Process (RUP) (Kruchten, 2003) and Extreme Programming (XP) (Beck, 2004). Other flavors include Scrum (Schwaber and Beedle, 2001), Evo, and Feature-Driven Development (Palmer and Felsing, 2002). The following list of key practices is found in all agile iterative development processes that in my view are the most important. For details, please refer to Larman (2004) and Beck (2004).

Extreme programming is a relatively new approach to accelerated development. It aims to deliver software faster than any other widely used approach. It comprises a number of key practices that, it is suggested, must be collectively applied for the approach to work. Superficially, some extreme programming practices may appear to contravene conventional principles of good programming practice ...

Proper code testing and peer review of code and test cases are critical for scientific programming (46-48). One of the recent advances in software design methodologies includes the approach of extreme programming (XP) (6, 49). The XP approach...

Several agile methods exist, whereof extreme programming [16] and Scrum [7] are the most commonly used. Figure 2 explains the basic concepts of SafeScrum. 

In extreme programming and other agile methodologies, refactoring is an integral part of the software development cycle developers alternate between adding new tests and functionality and refactoring the code to improve its internal consistency and clarity.
