PROTOTYPING BENEFITS & RISKS Benefits • Shorter development times • Improved information system quality • Economics - lower cost • Too little Requirements Determination (Analysis) Risk
ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROTOTYPING • On-Line Access for Developers • DBMS/4GL - Relational or Object • Query Language - SQL or QBE • CASE With Reverse Engineering Support • Simulation Capability • Testing Facilities
PROTOTYPING CASE STUDIES* • A total of 39 case studies were evaluated • When a bar does not add up to 39 it means that one or more studies did not address that factor or attribute • Series 2 (grey) items represent the opposite of the Series 1 (white) items Example: white = Improved; then grey = not improved * Based on Figures 1 and 2 in: Gordon, V. Scott and Bieman, James M., "Rapid Prototyping: Lessons Learned", IEEE Software, Vol. 12, No. 1, January 1995, pp. 85-95
