Jeff Younker aptly described agile development in his book “Foundations of Agile Python Development.” Younker highlighted the following key practices for agile development:
- pair programming
- user stories (not use cases)
- system metaphor
- on-site customers
- unit tests
- test-driven development
- refactoring
- simple design
- short iterations
- collective code reflection
- continuous integration
- documentation
With this methodology, the code should always be working, although features might not have implemented. More info on the Manifesto for Agile Software Development.
