You shouldn't make statements about things when you don't know anything
about them. I think there's a proverb about that...
XP has a well specified method of handling requirements, and testing is
the backbone of how XP works. Documentation is not considered as part
of the XP process, you can do documentation however you like.
With that said, I've been involved in one XP project (in Java, not Ada,
although the language shouldn't really matter). It didn't turn out
well, but there were some bad personality conflicts, so it's hard to say
if any design process could have succeeded. The theory is intriguing,
since it more or less just goes with reality and doesn't assume that you
can do things you really can't do, but it has yet to be proven out.
