Extreme programming for embedded systems
Upperchurch - Extreme programming is a hot topic at Tipperary Institute, until now I allways assoiated XP with Java Apps for the Enterprise or desktop.
Dan Pierce at embedded.com shares some techniques that have served him well translating XP to the world of embedded systems programming.
He reviews XP under the following main activities
1. Planning
2. Design.
3. Coding
4. Testing
One of the main findings is that it's a tenet of XP to expect to tailor the process for the peculiarities of each environment. Such tweaking is relatively straightforward, so developers can use XP on embedded systems and still achieve XP's overall goals.
