Prototyping can be an efficient and effective way of developing large-scale computer applications. In particular, it can realise the improved systems quality which results from users being able to evaluate design decisions before they have become fixed. This paper identifies the benefits that can be derived from the use of prototyping, and describes the steps that must be taken to ensure that prototyping is implemented correctly.
