Prototype
• Prototype is a working system.
• It is developed to test the ideas and
assumptions about the new system.
• It consists of working software that accepts
input, performs calculations, procedures
printed or displayed information, or performs
other meaningful activities.
Prototype contd.
• Iteration Process
• The design and the information produced by
the system are evaluated by the users.
• Prototyping can be effectively done only if the
data are real and live situations.
• Prototypes are relatively inexpensive to build.
• Prototypes are created quickly.
Why Prototyping?
• No System with the characteristics of the one
proposed has yet been constructed by the
developer.
• The essential features of the system are only
partially known others are not identifiable even
through careful analysis of requirements
• Experience in using the system will significantly
add to the list of requirements.
• Alternate version of the system will evolve
through experience and additional development
and refinement of its features
Uses of application prototyping
• Clarifying the user requirements
• Verify the feasibility of a system design
Cont..
• The system users will participate in the
development process
