Pair programming:
Pair programming is an Agile technique originating from Extreme programming
(XP) in which two developers team together and work on one computer. The two
people work together to design, code and test user stories. Ideally, the two
people would be equally skilled and would each have equal time at the keyboard.
Pair programming uses the four eyes principal, ensuring that two sets of eyes
review the code that is being produced even when there is a division of labor.
While one person writes test cases using test-driven development techniques, for
example, the other person may write code to get the tests to pass. Typically, the
two developers will turns coding or reviewing, checking each other's work as they
go.
