Prototyping is an approach used in evolutionary system
development. In this book, the authors show which forms of
prototyping can be employed to tackle which problems. They
take a look at the tools used in everyday software
development with a view to determining their suitability for
prototyping, and attempt to elucidate prototyping as a
methodological concept.
Part I of the book looks at prototyping as an approach for
constructing and evaluating models. Traditional approaches
and phase-oriented life cycle plans are discussed.
Prototyping overcomes fundamental problems associated with
life cycle plans. The authors present their own concept of
evolutionary system development.
Part II shows to what extent technical support of
evolutionary system development is possible. Various tools
for supporting prototyping are discussed and prospective
trends are indicated. Criteria are listed to help the reader
choose between the various development environments
currently available or likely to become available in the
near future. Case studies are used to illustrate how
prototype construction can be integrated in software
projects.
