Development Practices Within a Team

Overview

This lesson will discuss how understanding the software requirements can aid the developer while programming. Moreover, we will study the concept of pair programming and the need for automation.

In certain cases, solving the problem requires building some software, but there are also plenty of cases where using existing software differently can be more effective. Sometimes, manually entering data is faster than building a one-off tool to perform the import. Building a throwaway data-entry screen can be quicker than an automated data-input system.
