Artifact: Coding Standard

Describes the conventions to be used when working with the programming language.

Purpose

The purpose of the Coding Standard is to facilitate communication among programmers working on the same code base. The coding standard takes on added importance in XP because of the pair programming and collective code ownership practices. The objective is to have all parts of the code appear to have been written by the same programmer.
