This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.
The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.
The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.
Agile research has lagged behind practice, as is often the case with new and emerging phenomena in Information Systems Development (ISD).
The perception of the impact of agile methods is predominantly positive, and several challenge areas were discovered, but based on this study, agile methods are here to stay.
Cryptographic code supports vital protections in modern computing systems. Learn how a new method helps verify code as developers write it while preserving speed and adaptability as it gets implemented and evolves. The post Verifying Rust cryptography in SymCrypt, from standards to code appeared first on Microsoft Research.
PhD student Rachel Sava, winner of the Envisioning the Future of Computing Prize, explores transformative improvements and dystopian risks of neural technology.
By rethinking how large cloud computing systems operate, Associate Professor Christina Delimitrou seeks to make data centers more energy efficient.
