| Abstract | ||||
| The recent success of Extreme Programming (XP) methodology within the software industry has exercised a growing pressure and demand on educational institutions to introduce XP practices in software engineering courses. This paper reports an empirical pilot study conducted to apply XP in one of the software engineering course-projects offered in the department of Computer Science at the College of Computer and Information Sciences, king Saud University. The study was conducted on four groups of senior pair-students who were asked to develop a simple Automatic Teller Machine “ATM” system. The project lasted eleven weeks and included three releases. Results and feedback from students are reported and recommendations are highlighted | ||||
