Prototyping and Software Development

What is a prototype in software development?

• A testing phase for software

• A detailed project plan

• A mock-up of a software solution in a primitive form

• A final product ready for delivery

Which type of prototyping involves an iterative approach?

• Evolutionary prototyping

• Throwaway prototyping

• Rapid application development

• Waterfall method

What is the main focus of evolutionary prototyping?

• User interface design

• Data structures

• Documentation

• Final product delivery

What happens to the prototype in throwaway prototyping?

• It is discarded after use

• It becomes part of the final product

• It is refined into the final product

• It is used for long-term development

What does RAD stand for in software development?

• Rapid Application Development

• Regular Application Design

• Rapid Analysis Development

• Revised Application Development

What is a key characteristic of the Waterfall Method?

• Focus on rapid prototyping

• Gathering all requirements at the beginning

• User involvement in every stage

• Iterative feedback loops

Which method emphasizes user involvement during development?

• Rapid Application Development

• Throwaway Prototyping

• Waterfall Method

• Evolutionary Prototyping

What is a benefit of using CAD/CAM applications?

• Longer production times

• Increased manual labor

• Design and manufacturing integration

• Higher costs of production

Which of the following is NOT a type of prototyping mentioned?

• Incremental Prototyping

• Throwaway Prototyping

• Evolutionary Prototyping

• Rapid Prototyping

What is the primary goal of rapid prototyping?

• To create a final product quickly

• To gather user feedback as soon as possible

• To develop complex data structures

• To eliminate the need for user involvement
