Evaluating the XP Customer Model and Design by Contract

Ralph-Johan Back, Piia Hirkman, Luka Milovanov, Evaluating the XP Customer Model and Design by Contract. In: Ralf Steinmetz, Andreas Mauthe (Eds.), Proceedings of the 30th EUROMICRO Conference, Rennes, France, August 31-September 3, pp. 318-325, 2004.

Abstract:

In this paper we describe one of the series of experiments with Extreme
Programming, carried out as a summer project. The focus in this experiment
was to try out the XP customer model and Design by Contract. The experiment
indicates that the Extreme Programming emphasis on having an on-site
customer available during the project improves the communication between
customers and the programming team, and markedly decreases the number of
false features and feature misses. It also indicates that the systematic
use of Design by Contract leads to a low post-release defect rate for the
software system built.
