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
