The vendor touts its new product, VersionOne Ultimate Edition, as a comprehensive agile lifecycle platform.

As it turns out, strict adherence to Agile development methodology isn't the most important thing when it comes to rapid quality software development.

How to track an iteration, close it out, and other steps.

Agile development practices, when performed correctly, are lightweight and inexpensive, avoid wasted cycles, and ensure that just the right features are built

We explain the top 5 and how to overcome them.

Why it's time to join the Agile movement and bring some business discipline to software development.

Surprisingly, constitutional government provides an effective model for creating and sustaining a software architecture organization.

Edit distance algorithms tell you how different two strings are from each other. That lets you see the differences between different versions of a string or file, or add differencing tools to your applications.

This approach results in increased productivity for developers by maximizing compatibility between systems and simplifying the design process.

To build a domain specific language, you need a quick and effective prototyping process that can parse your language syntax and perform semantic checking.

User stories are a lightweight mechanism for gathering and verifying user requirements on Agile projects. Unfortunately, it is easy to lose the context of stories. Find out how techniques from user-centered design (UCD) can help avoid this problem.

Pay attention to the true goal of software to avoid over-engineering your software solutions.

When integrated, Agile software development and User-Centered Design (UCD) allow development teams to extract the right information from their users, to verify assumptions, and to validate design decisions.

Though Hudson is a Java project, it can easily build your .NET applications. You configure Hudson easily via the Web interface rather than tweaking XML. With plenty of plug-ins available to .NET projects, Hudson provides plenty of powerful features.

Walk through the development of a domain-specific language (DSL) using the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and supporting components.

Building fluent programmatic interfaces lets users make calls in natural ways similar to speech.

After years of sharp debate about whether traditional or Agile software development is more effective, a recent keynote left me with the impression that the debate remains as religious as ever.

Domain specific languages have been around since Lisp, and abound in the Unix world of "little languages." A convergence of research has recently brought domain specific languages to the forefront of both language and API design.

Automate high-friction, unpredictable tasks in your environment to regain sanity and achieve a rapid, sustainable pace.

Using domain-specific languages (DSLs) and F# computation expressions will save you from writing UI code. Find out how.
