Extreme programming evaluation framework for object-oriented languages -- version 1.1

The Extreme Programming development Methodology (XP) seems appropriate for some teams or projects. Anecdotal stories from developers who have tried XP are often favorable. However, there is little empirical evidence to support or refute claims regarding XP. The Extreme Programming Evaluation Framework (XPEF) provides a benchmark measurement framework for researchers and practitioners to assess concretely the extent to which an organization has adopted XP practices and the result of this adoption. Through replication of case studies which utilize the structure of the XP-EF, the community can build an experience factory of empirical findings on XP; the results of these case studies can be integrated and combined.
