Abstract

Rapid prototyping has created much interest in recent years and is gradually finding a foothold in software engineering. There is still, however, some confusion and disagreement about its potentials and role in software development. This paper first takes a broad look at the approaches to prototyping and then describes a large software project which employed an evolutionary prototyping approach. It concludes that, in contrary to some previous suggestions, evolutionary prototyping in not limited to small scale software and can cope with large projects as well.
