Kent Beck citations

Kent Beck est un informaticien américain né le 31 mars 1961[réf. nécessaire].

Il est l'inventeur du concept d'eXtreme Programming et l'auteur des livres de référence sur la méthode . Il a contribué à la popularisation du développement piloté par les tests en en faisant une pratique technique importante de l'extreme programming.

En 1996, il a publié « Smalltalk Best Practices Patterns », un inventaire des patrons de réusinage de code en Smalltalk.

En 1996, alors qu'il mène d’un projet à DaimlerChrysler, Beck construit une méthode de développement informatique en assemblant plusieurs patrons techniques et organisationnels. La méthode XP naît officiellement en octobre 1999 avec la publication de « Extreme Programming Explained ».

Il a écrit en Smalltalk le canevas de test unitaire SUnit qui initie la série des canevas XUnit. Avec Erich Gamma, il a créé le canevas JUnit. Wikipedia

“The new concept of Extreme Programming (XP) is gaining more and more acceptance, partially because it is controversial, but primarily because it is particularly well-suited to help the small software development team succeed… XP is controversial, many software development sacred cows don't make the cut in XP; it forces practitioners to take a fresh look at how software is developed.”

Abstract
Extreme Programming Explained (2000)

“When you find you have to add a feature to a program, and the program's code is not structured in a convenient way to add the feature, first refactor the program to make it easy to add the feature, then add the feature.”

“Often you'll see the same three or four data items together in lots of places: fields in a couple of classes, parameters in many method signatures. Bunches of data that hang around together really ought to be made into their own object.”
