The concept of user stories has its roots as one of the main tenets of Extreme Programming. In simple terms, user stories represent an effective means of gathering requirements from the customer (roughly akin to use cases). This book describes user stories and demonstrates how they can be used to properly plan, manage, and test software development projects. The book highlights both successful and unsuccessful implementations of the concept, and provides sets of questions and exercises that drive home its main points. After absorbing the lessons in this book, readers will be able to introduce user stories in their organizations as an effective means of determining precisely what is required of a software application.

Engineering Software as a Service: An Agile Approach Using Cloud Computing By 作者: Armando Fox – David Patterson ISBN-10 书号: 0984881247 ISBN-13 书号: 9780984881246 Edition 版本: 1st 出版日期: 2013-04-16 pages 页数: 546 Awarded “Most Promising New Textbook” for 2016 by the Textbook & Academic Authors Association A one-semester college course in software engineering focusing on cloud computing, software as a service (SaaS), and Agile development using Extreme Programming (XP). This book is neither a step-by-step tutorial nor a reference book. Instead, our goal is to bring a diverse set of software engineering topics together into a single narrative, help readers understand the most important ideas through concrete examples and a learn-by-doing approach, and teach readers enough about each topic to get them started in the field. Courseware for doing the work in the book is available as a virtual machine image that can be downloaded or deployed in the cloud. A free MOOC (massively open online course) at saas-class.org follows the book’s content and adds programming assignments and quizzes. See saasbook.info for details.
