RUP and XP - A Modern Perspective

The development of Extreme Programming (XP) in nineties initiated lively discussion in software development community between those promoting XP and those advocating its “ older big brother” Rational Unified Process (RUP). They are both well-established and proven in practice, but nowadays it is clear that they cannot respond to all the new challenges separately. The gap between them leaves uncovered exactly those issues that mostly affect small and middle-size projects. This paper proposes an integral process, a combination of RUP and XP, which should be more convenient for small and middle-size projects than RUP or XP alone. Releasing and adjusting some of the directives, and combining ideas of both of these philosophies, is a logical solution for filling the gap between them and a natural evolution of software development methodologies in the present business world.
