Abstract

The constant nature of cost of change curve is claimed to be one of the important benefits of eXtreme Programming (XP). In order to find the effects of XP on cost of change curve, we propose a system dynamics simulation model of XP software development process. We also describe the steps to be followed to construct cost of change curve using the simulation model.
