Description

In today’s fast-paced software development landscape, delivering high-quality, maintainable, and efficient code is more important than ever. Extreme Programming (XP) provides a structured approach to achieving this by integrating Test-Driven Development (TDD), Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), Pair Programming, Refactoring, and Agile Best Practices. This course is designed to help developers, engineers, and Agile practitioners adopt XP techniques to build robust software and streamline development workflows.

This course is highly practical and hands-on, focusing on real-world implementation of XP methodologies to reduce bugs, improve collaboration, and accelerate software delivery. Whether you’re an individual developer or working in a team environment, these practices will enhance your engineering excellence and prepare you to work efficiently in Agile software development teams.
