pair programming

 

Writing the source code of a program in teams of two. Also called "peer programming," each person looks at the code the other member is writing or directly after it is written. The collaboration, plus the fact that each is validating the other, ensures that more thought goes into the writing of each routine. It also helps to ensure that the code is self documenting or, at least, better documented. See self-documenting code and XP.
