XP requires the team to have the courage to make changes to code at any time and anywhere . Refactoring and continuous integration rely on a framework of object-oriented programming and an arsenal of unit tests. This is fine for the server-side programming elements of Web projects, but what about pages?
Pages are not objects. They are brittle and difficult to manage and unit tests can't tell you that an important sentence is missing or that the wrong image is being displayed.
