Extreme programming implementation in academia for software engineering sustainability

摘要

The practice of making workable and maintainable software to meet the requirements of the use case is best defined as a software engineering practice. Fundamentally this is different from other engineering practices due to the abstraction level involved in the production. This fact produces different approaches for sustainability in the software industry. The importance of this practice towards a sustainable software industry in academia is very important. We propose a framework XPIA (Extreme Programming In Academia) that uses proven industry practices in software engineering with a focus on pair programming which is a practice in extreme programming to build a common knowledge and technical base in academics.
