Abstract
This paper deals with our approach of prototyping: after application domain modelling the functionality of the target system is derived; then a prototype is implemented; user experience leads to revisions of application domain model, system design and the prototype itself; when a satisfactory solution is found, the target system can be built. The structure of the prototype has to be similar to that of the target system because this structure influences the way of working with the system. For both the prototype and the target system an object-oriented architecture is chosen. A prototype is seen as a learning device which is evaluated in the application area under the aspects: functionality, system structure and interactive capabilities.
This paper is a result of the projects “User-Developer Communication” and “Software Development Methods”, sponsored by the Comission of the European Communities within the research program “Specification and Development of Software Systems”.
