Résumé

By now you've probably been exposed at some level to the buzz and hype surrounding agile methods of software development. But perhaps you're wondering just exactly what it means to be "agile" or exactly how to go about it. Or maybe you've heard that there's a "sweet spot" between agility and discipline, but you're not sure where that sweet spot is exactly.

The three of us have spent many years thinking about the many trade-offs between feedback-driven agile approaches and plan-driven "disciplined" approaches, and we each brought a different set of programming, managing, and teaching experiences to the writing of this book. We've taken that collective experience and illustrated our ideas with a concrete example, which you can follow from requirements and use cases all the way through C# code to a working application.

Here are our top 10 reasons to buy this book:

10. Attempts to separate fact from fiction with regard to agile methods
9. Identifies specific characteristics of a good software process
8. Defines a core subset of agile practices and illustrates it with examples
7. Defines the "sweet spot" between agility and discipline
6. Discusses useful techniques such as adaptive planning and three-point estimating
5. Explains how to be plan driven and feedback driven
4. Demonstrates how to combine use case modeling with Test-Driven Development (TDD), and how to drive unit tests from UML models (with examples using Java/JUnit)
3. Takes a real-life project from requirements through C# code over multiple iterations
2. Shows how interaction design and persona analysis can focus your use cases on usability
1. Explains how to keep UML models and source code in sync

We hope you find our efforts helpful in your development work!
