理解pair programming vs. solo programming

• Pair Programming

  Pair programming is an agile software development technique in which two programmer work together at one workstation.

  One, the driver, write code while the other, the observer or navigator, reviews each line of code as it is typed in.

  The two programmers switch roles frequently.

• Pair Programming vs. Solo Programming

  In 2000, Kent Beck popularized the notion of pair programming, and argued that this practice could improve software quality and developer learning, and would not adversely affect duration, as compared to solo programming. The auther conduct a meta-analysis of 15 years of empirical tests of these relationships, and find that pairs generally :

  a. produce higher quality software

  b. learn more

  c. program faster
