Agile methods have the potential for cost effective and efficient software development thereby facilitating economic sustainability. A well-defined process is associated with a better quality software product and a sustainable production flow. However, agile processes have their shortcomings such as inadequately detailed user stories and lack of overall (architectural) design. Such shortcomings can affect the effectiveness of the agile process. Using principles of process tailoring, three agile processes are tailored by adding steps that address their weaknesses. The tailored processes once derived were implemented and tested. The results of the controlled case study show that the altered extreme programming resulted in better cost effectiveness and may be a useful angle for enhancing economic sustainability.

Extreme Programming is a well-known agile process model that can fulfill the needs of today's software industry. It is suitable for small to medium scale projects. Its strength lies in its practices that are applied in extreme manner to get the best results. However in some scenarios these practices overburdened the software development process. In small scale projects where requirements are almost stable and no detailed design and planning activity is required, the overall structure and some of XP practices require extra effort and cause unnecessary delay in project completion. Practices like on-site customer, continuous testing and continuous integration can be a hurdle in timely completion of small project. To overcome these problems a modified form of Extreme Programming model called Tailored Extreme Programming (TXP) is presented in this research that can be applied to small scale projects to make the development process effective and efficient.

“…The limitations of conventional models include long development duration, less user interaction, no adaptability, high cost, and no response to the frequently change in user requirements [13][14][15][16]. Agile models valued those factors which were neglected in traditional models and ultimately diverted the focus from process to people [23][24][25][26]. Several agile models are used in software industry now-a-days including Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Dynamic System Development Model (DSDM), Crystal Method, Test Driven Development (TDD), and Feature Driven Development (FDD) [13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Empirical analysis evaluates the proposed system via practical experience and reveals its pros and cons. Such type of evaluation is one of the widely used validation approach in software engineering. Conventional software process models performed well till mid of 1990s, but then gradually replaced by agile methodologies. This happened due to the various features, the agile family offered, which the conventional models failed to provide. However besides the advantages, agile models lacked at some areas as well. To get the extreme benefits from any agile model, it is necessary to eliminate the weaknesses of that model by customizing its development structure. Feature Driven Development (FDD) is one of the widely used agile models in software industry particularly for large scale projects. This model has been criticized by many researchers due to its weaknesses such as explicit dependency on experienced staff, little or no guidance for requirement gathering, rigid nature to accommodate requirement changes and heavy development structure. All these weaknesses make the FDD model suitable only for large scale projects where the requirements are less likely to change. This paper deals with the empirical evaluation of FDD during the development of a small scale web project so that the areas and practices of this model can be identified with empirical proof, which made this model suitable only for large projects. For effective evaluation, the results of FDD case study are compared with a published case study of Extreme Programing (XP), which is widely used for the development of small scale projects.
