Abstract

This paper introduces an application development methodology whereby interactive screen oriented applications are simulated in scenarios, and then prototyped. This methodology, termed "architecture-based", allows users and developers to quickly reach agreement on precise specifications of a system. The paper describes the essential features of this methodology, and relates the methodology to similar techniques proposed by others. It then describes ACT/1, a program product which is specifically designed for developing such scenarios, and for translating the specified application systems into prototypes and then into working production programs. The relationship of the methodology to some concepts discussed at the Software Engineering Symposium on Rapid Prototyping is briefly discussed.
