The first book to cover Agile Modeling, a new modeling technique
created specifically for XP projects eXtreme Programming (XP) has
created a buzz in the software development community-much like
Design Patterns did several years ago. Although XP presents a
methodology for faster software development, many developers find
that XP does not allow for modeling time, which is critical to
ensure that a project meets its proposed requirements. They have
also found that standard modeling techniques that use the Unified
Modeling Language (UML) often do not work with this methodology. In
this innovative book, Software Development columnist Scott Ambler
presents Agile Modeling (AM)-a technique that he created for
modeling XP projects using pieces of the UML and Rational's Unified
Process (RUP). Ambler clearly explains AM, and shows readers how to
incorporate AM, UML, and RUP into their development projects with
the help of numerous case studies integrated throughout the book.
- AM was created by the author for modeling XP projects-an element lacking in the original XP design
- The XP community and its creator have embraced AM, which should give this book strong market acceptance
Companion Web site at www.agilemodeling.com features updates, links to XP and AM resources, and ongoing case studies about agile modeling.
