The rapid creation of prototypes of a new product for demonstration and research purposes
Building of a model (prototype) that can be modified before the actual system is installed It allows users to find out right away how a change in the system can help their work
Builds prototypes and limited production runs to test branded concept prior to final production
A systems development approach that tries to satisfy user needs by focusing on the user interface
An approach to accelerate the software development process by facilitating the identification of required functionality during analysis and design phases A limitation of this technique is the identification of system and software problems and hazards
(n or v) A term used to describe the process by which physical mockups are made of proposed designs Increasingly, prototyping is done using the databases associated with 3-D computer models Because of the speed and efficiency, this technique is often referred to as rapid prototyping
A process in which partial versions of a program are created to aid in designing the final product
In the context of GRADE, prototyping is used to "run" a system model (analogous to the simulation of business models)
An iterative process of systems development in which requirements are converted to a working system that is continually revised through close work between analysts and users (2)
This is the process of analyzing the software and determining (and making) modifications necessary for the CSU While campuses participate in prototyping to identify requirements Only the SOSS Group in the Chancellor's Office can make modifications to the software
the iterative process of designing process solutions using the application software The design improves with each iteration of the prototype With this technique, a working model of MiraCosta is continuously developed, until the final prototype, which will be used to create the production system
