De la solapa interior

In spite of repeated efforts to formalize and systemize the definition process, consistent requirements definition remains an exceptional event. Current pre-specification methods for performing requirements definition are just not reliable. Prototyping is the answer to a long and difficult effort to devise a "real world" workable definition strategy. It?s a method for extracting, presenting, and refining a user?s needs by building a working model of the ultimate system?quickly and in proper context. By incrementally refining the models as problems are uncovered and solutions emerge, prototyping can efficiently solve the definition problem. Application Prototyping is the first book to explain how this new technique works, how to actually perform it, and how to introduce it into a business organization. This new ability to deliver animated application models directly to the user completely revolutionizes the definition process. Project managers no longer need worry about possible misinterpretation, because the working prototype provides physical anchors that permit and enhance clear, unambiguous communication. Problem solving can now evolve around active and dynamic models as opposed to inanimate paper models. This exciting new volume offers a proven alternative to the obvious failings of current structured techniques. Finally, any business or industry with a data processing system will be able to test "real world" problems in the "prototype laboratory" before making an extensive commitment of development resources. Programmers, systems analysts, data processing managers, and users will be able to test the viability of a solution before committing themselves to final applications. With the introduction of application prototypes, the data processing industry enters a new era.
