Summary
It is possible to measure certain properties of code, and on the one hand, correlate them with project factors known to have economic merit and on the other, with programmer-pleasing practices. This session surveys emerging evidence that we can measure the effect of the technical practices of Agile development, and explores what we might be able to do about it to our benefit.

Thank InfoQ for publishing presentations like this! I think that agile community (apart from some stupid discussions about "being agile") is setting the basics of the future REAL computer science. Maybe it will be compound by a mixture of mathematics, sociology and programmers' psychology ;-)
But please, please, please, tell the guy that is recording those kind of presentations to FOCUS in WHAT they show in THEIR SCREEN. Keith Braithwaite is a clever programmer, but I prefer to see what is showing than how is looking he while showing it ;-).
And, another one, is it possible to record the questions and comments from attendants? I suspect that some of them are very interesting but I can't hear anything.
Thank you InfoQ -
Ibon,
Glad you found the talk interesting.
What was on the screen is shown immediately below the video
Keith -
No, I take that back. You can't see the code examples. Sorry.
-
Yes, I also love to see the code ;-)
Congrats for your presentation, I found it very interesting. I think that Kent Beck made some comments about the same here at the end.
Only to play devil's advocate, maybe we need some double-blind trial to assure that we aren't selecting the projects we think present some slope, don't we? Maybe you have said something about it in the presentation, but I'm a spanish guy that sometimes don't understand well english speakers.
Thanks! -
Thanks Keith for your presentation.
I did the math on two defence projects here at Systematic A/S to confirm your experiment:
Codebase Slope Automated unit tests?
Project 1 2,4 Yes
Project 2 2,9 Yes
