Hybrid Method for Software Development Based On Agile Methodologies in the Coding and Testing Phases

This article proposes a hybrid method for the coding and testing phases in software development that involves both traditional methodologies and agile methodologies in the complete Development cycle. In the coding phase, agile techniques Scrum and extreme programming (XP) are used, taking the sprint section from scrum while extreme programming takes programming in pairs, resulting in a hybrid method (Scrum / XP). For the coding phase, this hybrid method takes the use of a version control flow very seriously, counting on the git Flow technique as the one recommended for software development. While in the testing phase the use of black box and white box tests is suggested, it is also recommended to use static and dynamic techniques. In this phase you can use TDD or Test-Driven Development, in which tests are first and development second.
