No Debt, No Defects" to the Houston Agile Developer Group. Agile
methods place high demands on developers: every iteration--as often as
every week--the team must deliver working, tested software to their
customers. Every iteration, the team may be asked to change direction
and work on an entirely new set of requirements. To meet this
challenge, agile engineering practices are a must. Join James for a
discussion of how Extreme Programming's engineering practices mesh
together to allow teams to approach the ideal of software with no
defects and no technical debt. Practices discussed include pair
programming, ten-minute builds, continuous integration, incremental and
evolutionary design, test-driven development, and more.
