Toward Empowering Extreme Programming from an Architectural Viewpoint

Architecting in the Context of Agile Software Development: Fragility Versus Flexibility

“…While MDD is referred to as a set of approaches in which code is automatically or semiautomatically generated from more abstract models [38], Ambler has argued that using modelling tools would require modelling skill set and specialized expertise [39]. However, Zhang & Patel showed through a case study that the productivity in number of source code lines per staff month increased in case of high percentage of automatically generated code compared to hand coding [40].…”

Integrating Software Security into Agile-Scrum Method

“…Agile methodologies such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), and the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), have gained enough attention for software development in recent years [1]. A number of organizations [2,3] that practice agile methods suggest that agile methods help during the software development process by emphasizing rapid development statements [4,5]. In fact, agile methods are more flexible and help to reduce risks of project failure.…”

“…However, they need to follow several rules related to the agile manifesto, including those concerning less documentation and team member interactions, which provide for appropriate communication with customers and other users. However, some researchers and practitioners [4,6,7] highlighted a critical software problem -software security [8,10] and [11]. As mentioned in the abstract, like other agile methods, the Scrum model does not provide guidelines for dealing with the security aspects of software [12].…”
