eXtreme Programming (XP)

• Customer Collaboration: Close and continuous interaction with customers to refine and prioritize requirements.
• Frequent Releases: Delivering small, incremental updates for ongoing feedback and improvement.
• Pair Programming: Two developers work together to improve code quality and share knowledge.
• Test-Driven Development (TDD): Writing tests before coding to ensure software meets requirements and remains bug-free.
• Continuous Integration: Regularly integrating and testing code to maintain a stable build.

Before learning eXtreme Programming (XP), it is helpful to have:

1. Basic Programming Skills: Understanding of programming languages and software development.
2. Knowledge of Agile Concepts: Familiarity with Agile methodologies and principles.
3. Version Control: Experience with version control systems like Git.
4. Software Development Lifecycle: Understanding of development processes and methodologies.

By learning eXtreme Programming (XP), you gain:

1. Agile Practices: Proficiency in agile development practices like iterative development and continuous feedback.
2. Test-Driven Development (TDD): Skills in writing and maintaining tests before writing code.
3. Pair Programming: Experience in collaborative coding with a partner.
4. Refactoring: Ability to improve and optimize existing code without changing its behavior.
5. Continuous Integration: Knowledge of integrating code changes frequently and managing build processes.
