Abstract
This chapter presents the overview of the majority of empirical studies that have investigated the TF (Test-First) and PP (Pair Programming) practices versus the TL (Test-Last) and SP (Solo Programming) practices or closely related treatments. Some empirical studies were excluded due to the toy size of the delivered software products [266], or treatments loosely related to TF or PP [17]. The effects of the TF practice are discussed in Sect.2.1, while the effects of the PP practice are presented in Sect.2.2.
Design and programming are human activities; forget that and all is lost.
