Software Prototyping
Benefits of developing a prototype early in the s/w process
- misunderstandings between developers and users may be identified as the system functions are demonstrated
- missing user services may be detected
- difficult-to-use or confusing user services may be identified and refined
- s/w development staff may find incomplete and/or inconsistent requirements as the prototype is developed
- demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of the application to management
- serves as a basis for writing the specification for a production quality system.
