RESUMEN

Including architecture-centric design and analysis methods in the Extreme Programming framework can help software developers address quality attributes in an explicit, methodical, engineering-principled way. Properly managed, architecture-centric methods can be a cost-effective addition to the software development process and will increase system and product quality.This article is part of a focus section on software architecture.

RESUMEN

The software industry has practiced pair programming--two programmers working side by side at one computer on the same problem--for years. But people who haven't tried it often reject the idea as a waste of resources. The authors demonstrate that pair programming yields better software products in less time--and happier, more confident programmers. Their supportive evidence comes from professional programmers and an experiment with university students.
