Resumen

This paper describes our experience on using concepts of the Agile methodology during the development cycle of an automated testbed solution. The initial idea was to consider one of the Agile methods, the Extreme Programming, to lead our process. However, the particular features of our system have required adaptations in our initial process so that we could ensure the final product quality. This paper details all the steps of this adaptation, stressing the rationale for each of our decisions.
