James Shore: The Art of Agile Development: Spike Solutions - 0 views

  • About Spikes A spike solution, or spike, is a technical investigation. It's a small experiment to research the answer to a problem. For example, a programmer might not know whether Java throws an exception on arithmetic overflow. A quick ten-minute spike will answer the question.
  • Performing the Experiment The best way to implement a spike is usually to create a small program or test that demonstrates the feature in question. You can read as many books and tutorials as you like, but it's my experience that nothing helps me understand a problem more than writing working code. It's important to work from a practical point of view, not just a theoretical one.
  • Writing code, however, often takes longer than reading a tutorial. Reduce that time by writing small, standalone programs.

  • Design Spikes Sometimes you'll need to test some approach to your production code. Perhaps you want to see how a design possibility will work in practice, or you need to see how a persistence framework will work on your production code. In this case, go ahead and work on production code. Be sure to check in your latest changes before you start the spike and be careful not to check any of your spike code.
  • If you anticipate the need for a spike when estimating a story, include the time in your story estimate. Sometimes, you won't be able to estimate a story at all until you've done your research; in this case, create a spike story and estimate that instead
