A Grid Software Process

In this chapter, we have addressed the problem of professional Grid software development and presented an agile Grid Software Process based on Extreme Programming. The software lifecycle model has been fully evaluated in the context of both small to medium-sized academic research and commercial projects. We have discussed the XP practices we follow, the ones we have slightly adapted and why, and also the practices we do not recommend. We have also discussed the abstractions and the design patterns on which our Grid software is based.
