Abstrakt: In this article, we present a simulation model that we developed for exploring the influence of two key Extreme Programming (XP) practices — Test-first Programming and Pair Programming — on the evolution of an XP software project. We present the results obtained simulating a typical XP project changing the usage levels of the two practices. We focused on output variables related to effort, size, quality and released functionalities. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
