    Description&#xD;
&lt;/h3>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    All production software in XP is produced by two programmers, sitting side by side, at the same machine. This practice&#xD;
    ensures that all production code is reviewed by at least one other programmer and results in better design, better&#xD;
    testing, and better code.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Research into pair programming shows that pairing produces better code in about the same time as programmers working&#xD;
    singly.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Pairing also serves to communicate knowledge throughout the team. As pairs switch, everyone gets the benefits of&#xD;
    everyone's specialized knowledge. Programmers learn, their skills improve, and they become more valuable to the team&#xD;
    and to the company.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;h3>&#xD;
    Benefits&#xD;
&lt;/h3>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Better design, code and tests.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Application and skill knowledge sharing across team.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
