204. The Need For Prototypes
Two phases in the rapid prototyping process provide the ability to facilitate the design of high-quality software. During the first prototyping phase basic functionality is explored, with the possibility of radically different design alternatives still being possible. This first phase of prototyping will culminate with an initial design proposal. The prototype is the tested, with design modifications being made on the basis of the results. Any radical product design changes would be made during this first phase. Following this, the second phase of prototyping is a fine-tuning stage with a slow cycle time.Prototyping serves a useful purpose at different stages of design such as, in the beginning, product conceptualization. At the outset of product design, before a prototype is made, multiple design sketches can be presented to users and to members of the development team for critique. The outcome of this process determines the characteristics of the first prototype.
