Peer-reviewed research,
not just marketing.
Xamun's methodology is published in a leading peer-reviewed information technology journal — independently reviewed, citation-ready, and grounded in real-world delivery data.
The xDD (experience-Driven Development) Methodology
The xDD (experience-Driven Development) methodology underpins the Xamun Software Factory. The paper sets out a specification-first, AI-augmented approach to software delivery: business specifications are formalised before code is written, AI handles the high-volume boilerplate, and expert engineers govern quality through structured review gates. The result is a delivery model that is faster than conventional outsourcing, more accountable than vibe-coded AI tools, and reproducible enough to publish.
This is not a marketing framework. It is research-grade documentation of a working methodology — independently peer-reviewed and publicly citable.
Reviewed by anonymous academic referees and editors before publication. Not a self-published whitepaper.
DOI-indexed. Discoverable in Google Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, and academic databases.
Grounded in 25+ years of enterprise software delivery (Xamun, formerly BlastAsia) — a research methodology validated in production.
