  What is pair programming?

TWO programmers working side-by-side, collaborating on the same design,
algorithm, code or test. One programmer, the driver, has control of the
keyboard/mouse and actively implements the program. The other
programmer, the observer, continuously observes the work of the driver
to identify tactical (syntactic, spelling, etc.) defects and also thinks
strategically about the direction of the work. On demand, the two
programmers can brainstorm any challenging problem. Because the two
programmers periodically switch roles, they work together as equals to
develop software.
