Abstract

We conducted an experiment attempting to compare XP with a traditional approach to student software engineering projects. We tasked two groups of student teams with producing a simple room reservation system, one group following a traditional development process, the other using XP. We observed little actual difference between the products delivered by either process. However, in our opinion this is due to certain deficiencies in the way XP was realized in this instance, rather than fundamental flaws in the process itself.
