Agile methods also bring a new mindset -- no big design, no specifications, minimal planning -- which conflict with the needs of UX design. This lecture discusses the key elements of Agile for the UX community and...

Ein wichtiger Bestandteil moderner, agiler Softwareentwicklung ist die kontinuierliche Integration von Code-Änderungen in die existierende Software (Continuous Integration, CI). Während Programmierer früher monatelang an neuen Modulen bastelten, um sie dann zu einem bestimmten Stichtag ins System zu spielen (und nur allzu oft daran zu scheitern), lässt sich mit modernen CI-Tools jede kleine Programmänderung sofort integrieren, automatisch testen und im Anschluss an verschiedenen Stellen installieren. Jenkins (früher Hudson) ist eine solche Plattform, die Entwicklern die nahtlose Integration...
