چکیده
The Metaphor is intended to contribute to the Agile Programming value of communication. Previously, some of the author studied the Metaphor as a means of communication among team members and between them and clients. This paper examines the Metaphor’s contribution to the software architecture. Both experiments seem to reveal that the Metaphor has poor effectiveness.

System Metaphor in “Extreme Programming”: A Semiotic Approach
System Metaphor is one of the core practices of the software development process known as “Extreme Programming” (XP). Unfortunately, the System Metaphor practice is poorly understood, and is the practice XP teams most commonly choose to ignore. We provide a simple, structural model of system metaphors, based upon Peircean semiotics, giving a fundamental account of the way metaphors can contribu...

The current research on XP mainly focuses on academic studies or experience reports which do not question ‘how’ and ‘why’, but simply ‘whether’ the various techniques work. This paper suggests the investigation of three areas in order to ...
متن کاملA software methodology for applied research: eXtreme Researching
Applied research is, by necessity, a distributed, collaborative process. To be useful, research methodologies must not only be applicable in such an environment, but must also be adaptive to the needs of human resources and specific research area requirements. This paper introduces eXtreme Researching (XR), an adaptation of eXtreme Programming (XP) by Ericsson, to support distributed telecommun...

System Metaphor is one of the key practices of Extreme Programming (XP). Unfortunately, the System Metaphor practice is poorly understood, and is the practice XP teams most commonly choose to ignore. In this paper, we provide a small collection of patterns that teams can use to develop metaphors for their systems, and for evaluating system metaphors. We hope these patterns will encourage Extrem...
