{{Software development process}}

'''Extreme programming''' ('''XP''') is a [[software development methodology]] which is intended to improve software quality and responsiveness to changing customer requirements.

Other elements of extreme programming include: programming [[Pair programming|in pairs]] or doing extensive [[code review]], [[unit testing]] of all code, [[You_aren%27t_gonna_need_it|avoiding programming of features until they are actually needed]], a flat management structure, code simplicity and clarity, expecting changes in the customer's requirements as time passes and the problem is better understood, and frequent communication with the customer and among programmers.<ref name="UPenn49">[http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~matuszek/cit591-2003/Lectures/49-design-patterns.ppt UPenn-Lectures-design-patterns "Design Patterns and Refactoring", University of Pennsylvania, 2003].</ref><ref name="USFCA601">[http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~parrt/course/601/lectures/xp.html USFCA-edu-601-lecture Extreme Programming].
