Agile Programming: as a CMS development Methodology

Abstract

Content Management Systems (CMS) development is a fairly new concept in the field of web software engineering. Most CMS’s start as a free application that starts as developers on the net work on and modify the source code for the application. Developers from all parts of the world improve, adapt, and fix application bugs and issues. Developers work on voluntary basis on a project of their choice. As the need for new requirements becomes evident, the application is enhanced by adding new objects, modules by developers. This process is performed very rapidly compared to conventional software development methodologies. This paper shall follow an explorative approach to content management system development methodology using agile programming and introducing Extreme Programming (XP) as a Content Management System development methodology.

Keywords: Agile Programming, Content Management System, Open Source Systems
