Abstract

A plethora of subjective evidence exists to support the use of agile development methods on non-life-critical software projects. Until recently, Extreme Programming and Agile Methods have been sparsely applied to Mission Critical software products. This paper gives some objective evidence, through our experiences, that agile methods can be applied to life critical systems. This paper describes a Large System Mission Critical software project developed using an agile methodology. The paper discusses our development process through some of the key components of Extreme Programming (XP).
