Justin glanced at his pairing partner, Kevin, who was listening in. He gave Justin a thumbs up.
???Sure. We??™re just waiting for the build??™s tests to finish, anyway.???
???Great,??? Kim said. ???I??™m helping Pat get oriented, and he wanted to know which phase of development
we??™re working on. Can you explain what you??™ve been doing????
Justin flashed Pat a knowing look. ???She??™s on the ??™simultaneous phases??™ kick, huh? I??™m sorry.??? He
laughed. ???Just kidding, Kim! It is pretty different.
???I??™m sure Kim is dying to hear me say this: yes, we??™re doing testing, design, coding, and integration all
at once. We deploy every week??”because we do internal development, we actually deploy to
production??”but deployment happens automatically. The real deployment work happens when we
update our deployment scripts, which we do as needed throughout the week.???
???Right now Kevin and I are integrating, which is something everybody does every few hours. Before
that, we were using test-driven development and refactoring to test, code, and design simultaneously.???
Justin pointed to another pair at a workstation. ???Jerry and Suri are doing a in-depth review of a story
we finished yesterday.
