Abstract

A prototype-based software development can complement or offer an alternative to traditional system development techniques. Software prototyping approaches are becoming more sophisticated and systems prototyping tools and techniques are rapidly evolving. The paper presents a survey of graphical and textual software prototyping approaches. The authors dwell on the respective representations, methods, and benefits. They give examples of typical software tools available to carry out system prototyping. A taxonomy of prototyping approaches is given
