SXP: Simplified Extreme Programing Process Model

Abstract

Extreme programming is one of the widely used agile models in the software industry. It can handle unclear and changing requirements with the good level of customer satisfaction. However Lack of documentation, poor architectural structure and less focus on design are its major drawbacks that affects its performance. Due to these problems it cannot be used for all kinds of projects. It is considered suitable for small and low risk projects. It also has some controversial practices that cannot be applied in each and every situation like pair programming and on-site customer. To overcome these limitations a modified version of XP called “Simplified Extreme Programming” is proposed in this paper. This model provides solution of these problems without affecting simplicity and agility of extreme programmin
