Integrating Software-Architecture-Centric Methods into Extreme Programming (XP)

Abstract : This technical note fits the architecture-centric methods of the Carnegie Mellon (Registered Tradename) Software Engineering Institute (SEI) into the framework of Extreme Programming (XP). These methods include the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (Registered Tradename), the SEI Quality Attribute Workshop, the SE Attribute-Driven Design method, the SE Cost Benefit Analysis Method, and SEI Active Reviews for Intermediate Design. This report presents a summary of XP and examines the potential uses of the SEI's architecture-centric methods. SUBJECT TERMS 15.
