00:00:00,218 --> 00:00:03,030
Next I'm going to go over some of the XP's values
2
00:00:03,030 --> 00:00:05,870
and principles that I just hinted on earlier in the lesson.
3
00:00:05,870 --> 00:00:08,820
The first one, the first important value is communication. There
4
00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:12,350
is no good project without good communication. And XP tries to
5
00:00:12,350 --> 00:00:15,470
keep the right communication flowing and it uses several practices
6
00:00:15,470 --> 00:00:18,890
to do that. It's got practices based on and require information
7
00:00:18,890 --> 00:00:21,950
and in general share the information. For example, pair programming.
8
00:00:21,950 --> 00:00:25,140
And we're going to say more about that. User stories, customer involvement,
9
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:28,240
all activities that help communication,
10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,440
that faster communication. Another important
11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,420
principle that we already saw, is simplicity. And the motto here
12
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:35,680
is live for today without worrying too much about the
13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,230
future. When you have to do something, look for the simplest
14
00:00:38,230 --> 00:00:40,580
thing that works. And the emphasis here is on, that
15
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:43,520
works. We want to build something simple, but not something stupid.
16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,090
Feedback. That's extremely important in XP, and it occurs at
17
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:50,560
different levels, and it is used to drive changes. For example,
18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,910
developers write test cases. And that's immediate feedback. If your test cases
19
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:56,140
fail, there's something wrong with the code. Or there's something that you
20
00:00:56,140 --> 00:00:59,690
still haven't developed. Developers also estimate new stories right away as soon
21
00:00:59,690 --> 00:01:02,060
as they get them from the customers and that's immediate feedback to
22
00:01:02,060 --> 00:01:05,515
the customer. And finally, on a slightly longer time frame, customers and
23
00:01:05,515 --> 00:01:07,820
tester develop together functional system test
24
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:09,600
cases to assess the overall system.
25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,100
And also in this case, that's a great way to provide feedback
26
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:15,850
and by the way, also to help communication. And finally, courage, the courage
27
00:01:15,850 --> 00:01:18,860
to throw away code if it doesn't work. To change it if you
28
00:01:18,860 --> 00:01:21,710
find a way to improve it. To fix it if you find a problem.
29
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:24,300
To try out new things if you think that they might work better
30
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:27,410
than what you have right now. Now, that we can build and test systems
31
00:01:27,410 --> 00:01:30,150
very quickly, we can be much braver than what we were before. So
32
00:01:30,150 --> 00:01:33,790
how do we accomplish all that? And what are XP's practices that are going to
33
00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:37,750
help us follow these principles and adhere to those values? These are some
34
00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:40,900
of XP practices. There are more, but those are the ones that I'd like
35
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:44,240
to discuss in a little more depth, individually. Incremental planning,
36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,230
small releases, simple design, test first, refactoring. We will actually
37
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:51,680
have a whole lesson next on refactoring. Pair programming, continuous
38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,240
integration, and on-site customer. So let's start with incremental planning.
