eXtreme Programming pays off

Sydney, Australia – Citect announced the release of CitectSCADA V5.42, the first Citet-SCADA release to be developed using eXtreme Programming (XP), a customer-centric, agile development methodology designed to deliver zero-defect code.

In an XP programming environment, pairs of programmer’s work together to ensure that code is developed and tested in a consistent style. Introduced in CitectSCADA V5.42, XP’s new tools are designed to lower operational risk.

For example, automated diagnostic tools capture customer system information that can be readily analyzed, increasing the efficiency with which Citect Support can resolve customers’ needs.
