23. Risk factors Maintenance issues in XP How to bind user stories to test-cases and code? How to preserve system architectural design? How to understand customer needs?  difficulties in thesis completion  missing customer's business goal  poorly structured design Symptoms:  difficulties in thesis completion  missing customer's business goal  poorly structured design  business rationale for stories  metaphore + architecture  skilled students Solutions:  business rationale for stories  metaphore + architecture  skilled students

24. Risk factors Maintenance issues in CMM Level 2 How to keep documents consistent and up-to- date?  inconsistent documents  versioning problems Symptoms:  inconsistent documents  versioning problems  CASE tools (e.g. Rational Suite) Solutions:  CASE tools (e.g. Rational Suite)

25. Risk factors Customer involvement Customers underestimate their role. On-site customer is almost utopia.  customer is not available  customer cannot make desisions Symptoms:  customer is not available  customer cannot make desisions  train customers in XP  alternative communication Solutions:  train customers in XP  alternative communication

26. Risk factors Pair programming Some people hate pair programming. Pair-mate is not involved enough. Excessive cost of pair programming.  code contains simple mistakes  code is owned by individuals  certain people cannot work together Symptoms:  code contains simple mistakes  code is owned by individuals  certain people cannot work together  exercise pair programming  add code reviews  enforce changing partners in pairs Solutions:  exercise pair programming  add code reviews  enforce changing partners in pairs

28. SDS-CMM vs. SDS-XP SDS-CMM:  well defined process  easy to maintain  less dependent on customer  programming seems unimportant  needs a lot documentation  documents are inconsistent SDS-XP:  focused on programming  less documents to produce  stress on communication  needs experience  customer involvement is critical  problems in maintenance In students' opinion...

29. Conclusions More quantitative results... CRITERIONSDS-CMMSDS-XP Projects started 65 Projects completed 65 Software delivery delayed 23 Software accepted by customer 4*2 Projects continued next year 20 Software installed at customer's 22

30. Conclusions Sommerville-Sawyer's model Defined > 85 Basic & > 40 Interm & AdvDefined Repeatable > 55 Basic & < 40 Interm & AdvRepeatable Initial < 55 BasicInitial SDS-CMM (61 + 29) SDS-XP (30+18)

31. Conclusions l SDS-XP depends on people, not on documents l SDS-CMM seems more appropriate for inexperienced developers l SDS-XP requires constant customer involvement l SDS-XP and SDS-CMM both suffer from maintenance problems (though XP is more error-prone) l SDS-CMM requires better CASE support l SDS-XP needs more management involvement
