S E T 2 1 2 : S O F T WA R E E N G I N E E R I N G ( 2 ) System prototyping
 Prototyping is the rapid development of a system
 In the past, the developed system was normally thought
of as inferior in some way to the required system so
further development was required
 Now, the boundary between prototyping and normal
system development is blurred and many systems are
developed using an evolutionary approach

What is Software Prototyping

 What is software prototyping ?
It is the process of implementing the presumed software
requirements with an intention to learn more about the actual
requirements or alternative design that satisfies the actual set of
requirements.

 Need for software prototyping

 To assess the set of requirements that makes a product
successful in the market
 To test the feasibility without building the whole system
 To make end-user involved in the design phase
9
S E T 2 1 2 : S O F T WA R E E N G I N E E R I N G ( 2 ) Prototyping objectives
 The objective of evolutionary prototyping is to deliver
a working system to end-users.
The development starts with those requirements which are best
understood.
 The objective of throw-away prototyping is to validate
or derive the system requirements.
The prototyping process starts with those requirements which
are poorly understood
10
S E T 2 1 2 : S O F T WA R E E N G I N E E R I N G ( 2 ) Prototyping benefits
 Misunderstandings between software users and
developers are exposed
 Missing services may be detected and confusing
services may be identified
 A working system is available early in the process
 The prototype may serve as a basis for deriving a
system specification
 The system can support user training and system
testing
