In this short paper we present our research idea on relationships between specific indices of organizational climate (team/management climate), level of individual self-efficacy as a personality attribute, and software practitioners' readiness for agilesoftware development. Research results can help organizations predict the readiness of employees to implement agile methods and/or to work effectively in an agile environment.

the present movement in the adoption of agile methodologies as a contemporary approach to the management of the software development processes has seen a growing trend towards the selection of relevant practices from the agile family as opposed to the adoption of specific methods. this paper reports work-in-progress of a proposed novel modeling technique for tailoring methodologies to a particular environment using the family of methodologies approach. the tool is being applied by one software development organisation in Southern Africa and the partial results are included in this paper.

the role of test automation in agilesoftware Development projects is of paramount importance. It is absolutely necessary to automate tests on agile projects as the number of test cases will continue to grow with each successive sprint. through a Grounded theory study involving 38 agile practitioners from 18 different software organizations in India, we identified five key challenges faced by agile practitioners and different strategies to overcome those challenges while practicing test automation. Understanding these challenges and strategies would help agile teams in streamlining their test automation practices.
A panel of expert practitioners will offer advice to members of the audience on how to address the issues they are facing when applying XP. the format is to consider concrete cases, to talk about what we would do in t...

the automated collection of source code metrics can help agile teams to understand the softwarethey are producing, allowing them to adapt their daily practices towards an environment of continuous improvement. this paper describes the evolution of some object-oriented metrics in several agile projects we conducted recently in both academic and governmental environments. We analyze seven different projects, some where agile methods were used since the beginning and others where some agile practices were introduced later. We analyze and compare the evolution of such metrics in these projects and evaluate how the different project context factors have impacted the source code.

Pair programming is one of the more controversial aspects of several agile system development methods, in particular extremeprogramming (XP). Various studies have assessed factors that either drive the success or suggest advantages (and disadvantages) of pair programming. In this exploratory study the literature on pair programming is examined and factors distilled. these factors are then compared and contrasted withthose discovered in our recent Delphi study of pair programming. Gallis et al. (2003) have proposed an initial framework aimed at providing a comprehensive identification of the major factors impacting team programming situations including pair programming. However, this study demonstrates that the framework should be extended to include an additional category of factors that relate to organizational matters. these factors will be further refined, and used to develop and empirically evaluate a conceptual model of pair programming (success).

Genesys Solutions is a bespoke IT company, first of its kind, run by MSc and fourth year students of Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield under the supervision of Prof. Mike Holcombe and Dr. Marian Gheorghe. Genesys follows the extremeprogramming (XP) methodology for software development based on client requirements. the commitment towards XP and its 'good software practices' can be considered as the greatest strength of Genesys. agile Development Environment for programming and Testing (ADEPT) is our contribution towards supporting the XP methodology by adopting the Eclipse platform along with its associated tools and frameworks within Genesys Solutions. It aimed to teach good software practices in Genesys to support XP by providing a software development life cycle management tool that will encompass the best practices of XP. It comprises of tools based on the principles of XP such as story cards, system metaphor, estimations, testing and quality assurance. ADEPT was the result of the IBM Eclipse Innovation 2004 awarded to the University of Sheffield. Also, based on the previous year's performance and more innovative ideas to implement more principles of XP we have been awarded another grant under the IBM Eclipse Innovation 2005 programme.
XP exists for almost ten years now. the latest Standish Report characterizes agile development as a top success factor. the new certified, standardized, and official process model of the German government, V-Modell XT...
