Prototyping has been recognized as being a powerful and indeed essential tool in many branches of engineering. Although software prototyping is often considered too expensive, correcting ambiguities and misunderstandings at the requirements specification stage is significantly cheaper than correcting a system after it has gone into production. This paper describes how rapid prototyping impacts the Requirements Analysis and Specification phase of the software life cycle. This is illustrated by describing the experience gained from a prototype used to assist in the requirements specification of a system to manage and control an integrated circuit fabrication facility. The cost of the prototype was less than 10 percent of the total software development cost.
