Abstract
We investigate the impact of pair programming on the long term evolution of software systems. We use system dynamics to build simulation models which predict the trend in system growth with and without pair programming. Initial results suggest that the extra effort needed for two people to code together may generate sufficient benefit to justify pair programming.
