Prototyping Techniques

The three major kinds of prototyping are

• “Throw away” prototyping (a.k.a. “rapid prototyping”)

  • used exclusively in requirements gathering

• Incremental prototyping

  • not actually prototyping at all, but the delivery of prioritised functions incrementally to a single, overall design

• Evolutionary prototyping (a.k.a “Rapid Application Development, RAD)

  • as for incremental prototyping but with evolving design
