Challenges of Gathering User Requirement in eXtreme Programming Project: A Case Study of Highway Construction Monitoring System

Abstract

Abstract. The successfulness of a software development project is not only based on the tools and the technology used but also really depends on how the developed software meets the end user requirements. Involving end user as an active member of software development team, one of the popular agile methods known as eXtreme Programming (XP) had been selected as the software development methodology. This paper is focused on one of the main practices called "on-site customer". The project under study is a web based Highway Construction Monitoring System (HIGHCONS). Challenges related to its implementation throughout the development process and also the suitable solutions in facing the challenges were also considered.

Adapting eXtreme Programming Approach in Developing Electronic Document Online System (eDoc)

“…To achieve the objective, agile methodologies use three key principles [3] which are a focus on adaptive methodologies, a focus on people, and a focus on self-adaptive processes. There are various agile software development metodology such as Agile Modeling, Agile Unified Process (AUP), Crystal Clear, Crystal Methods and also XP [4]. Among all the methodology, XP become one of the popular approaches in the arena [5].…”
