Question 7 (a) What is prototyping? Prototyping is the process of building an experimental system quickly and inexpensively for demonstration and evaluation so that users can better determine information requirements. By interacting with the prototype, users can get a better idea of their information requirements.
(b) Describe the main steps of a prototyping process. Phase 1: Define System Specifications One of the rough spots in the pre-specification approach to systems development has been the definition of the system specifications. Phase 2: Creating the prototype system Project team members rough out the logic of the system and how the elements fit together and then work with the user to define the I/O interfaces. Phase 3: Refine the Prototype System User sit down at a terminal or PC and evaluate portions and eventually all of the prototype system. The system expanded and refines to meet the user’s total information needs. Phase 4: Develop operational system The prototype system is custom coded
(c) Explain the 7 stages and problems of the SDLC. The 7 stages of the systems development life cycle method SDLC as follows: • Preliminary investigation • Feasibility Study • Determination of systems requirements • Design of the system • Development of software (include programming) • System testing • Implementation The three possible problems associated with the traditional SDLC are: • User Requirement Change • Incomplete User Requirements • Development Targets are missed
