What is Prototyping?

  • Chapter
Prototyping

Abstract

Software development has undergone drastic changes in recent years. New development strategies, methods and tools have become available to the practitioner, among them numerous tools supporting program specification, construction and testing. Such tools are no longer used individually, in an uncoordinated manner, but are instead embedded in an overall development strategy. Development strategies provide guidelines for constructing software systems in a project situation. They offer procedural suggestions covering all activities in the so-called software life cycle, or prescribe a particular method for use during these activities (e.g., structured programming, SADT, etc.).
