Info Please: Tdd and Pair Programming 281

Posted by Brett Schuchert Tue, 09 Nov 2010 14:58:00 GMT

I often get asked to provide background materials on TDD and Pair Programming.

Here are a few I often cite, but can you point me to some more? Are there any that you particularly like/dislike?

I would like both for and against. I prefer research or experience rather than rants, though if the rant is funny…

Thanks!

Start Here

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_programming

Good overview and sites studies.

Then here

  • http://accu.org/index.php/journals/1395
Here’s a good Snippet from that site:
A 1975 study of “two-person programming teams” reported a 127% gain in productivity and an error rate that was three orders of magnitude less than normal for the organization under study. [Crosstalk]
