Synopsis

Software systems are getting larger and morecomplex, while the requirements are becoming vaguer and more rapidly changing. These trends make current software development more and more likely a teamwork. To integrate multiple developers into a coherent structured management process and make teamsoftware development a positive-sum game for both higher productivity and better quality, an emerging methodology is collaborative programming, which allows a group of programmers to work together on the same source code for design, implementation of individual components, and integration of individual components. Compared with other team software methodologies that only address needs in some phases or situations, collaborative programming is more adaptive to the variety of different phases or situations in a team software development process. This book presents some novel techniques to address the special requirements for collaborative programming, and several Internet-based collaborative programming environments to demonstrate these techniques.
