Prototyping may strengthen requirements specifications. Systems produced through prototyping may be judged easier to learn and easier to use.

A survey of MIS managers in Fortune 1000 firms [3] suggests that there are four prototyping methodologies in use today which supplement the traditional systems development life cycle:

Systems analysts use prototyping tools and languages to implement this concept. Prototyping is used to improve the physical design phase. The use of prototyping may restrict the creativity of designs because of its dependence upon immediate physical designs.

It has been argued that prototyping, in some form or another, should be used all the time.

It is possible to use prototype testing to reduce the risk that a design may not perform acceptably, however prototypes generally cannot eliminate all risk.

But a prototyping tool is inherently going to use a specific technology to generate the prototype, and if it is not the same as the production technology, stakeholders that have been Three Reasons Not to Use Prototyping Tools | toddwarfel.com October 30, 2008 at 9:59 am Three Reasons Why I Don't Use Prototyping Tools...

Are people writing higher end frameworks utilising Prototype or is the general movement to just use Prototype and then add glue?

When I first started trying to use this library, a few years ago, I noticed that the documentation was definitely not one of its strongest points. As many other developers before me, I got my head around prototype.js by reading the source code and experimenting with it.

Anders Ramsay has a great post on why he doesn’t use prototyping tools. His biggest problem with prototyping tools are: In my prototyping book, I’m covering a number of tools, some of them are ones we don’t even use at our company (e.g. Visio, Axure) — it’s the Indian, not the arrow. Of course,
