Investigating pair programming in a software engineering course in an Asian setting
Despite the growing attention given to agile methods and practices in developed countries, there is an exiguity of empirical studies showing their successful (or unsuccessful) use in the developing world. After reviewing the literature on agile practices in developing countries, especially in Asia,...
