Rapid Prototyping Model

Rapid Prototyping (Rapid Prototype model)

The first step in a rapid prototyping model is to build a rapid prototype that enables customers or future users to interact with the system, and the user or customer evaluates the prototype to further refine the needs of the software to be developed. By gradually adapting the prototype to meet the customer's requirements, the developer can determine what the customer really wants, and the second step is to develop customer-satisfied software products based on the first step.

Obviously, the rapid prototyping method can overcome the shortcomings of the waterfall model, and reduce the development risk due to the unclear requirements of software, which has remarkable effect.

the key to rapid prototyping is to build software prototypes as quickly as possible , and once you have identified the real needs of your customers, the prototypes you build will be discarded. Therefore, the internal structure of the prototype system is not important, it is important to quickly set up prototypes, and then quickly modify the prototype to reflect the needs of customers .

The rapid prototyping model is somewhat integrated with the "edge-to-edge" and "Waterfall Model" benefits .
