Abstract: Pair programming is a method that is widespread in the field of agile software development (ASD) and is acknowledged as state of the art of programming. This article initially addresses the question of what constitutes the key attributes of pair programming. Therefore, we analysed the extent to which these attributes can be applied to the development-related areas of human-centred design (HCD) and the quality assurance (QA) of software. The results of this analyses lead to the presentation and consideration of a new conceptual model for the application of the attributes of pair programming in the context of pair design (HCD) and/or pair testing (QA). The discussion shows that a transferability and application is appropriate and that both HCD and QA benefit, particularly in terms of the product quality and product throughput time.
