Prototypes are partially developed software that enables end-users and developers to examine software product and determine the final look of the project and which features should be included on the finish product.
This process has advantages including:
-
The end user plays an active role in defining the human-computer interaction and can really feel the product.
-
Usability of the design is tested by end users so efficiency is high.
-
New processes and systems with no manual work to be compared with can be accommodated on this type of model.
Disadvantages of Prototyping:
-
Software requirements are not explicitly stated.
-
Time consuming which in turn results to more expenses
-
May result to unlimited development time depending on the requirements that stacks once end user sees the output.
Hey @m16 Yes there are a few potential disadvantages to working with software prototypes.
Incomplete Features
Misleading Expectations
Increased Costs
Technical Debt
