Textbook in PDF format The authors have used the techniques described herein for the successful development of dozens of large, complex software applications. Hundreds of satisfied end users have been favorably impressed by the benefits they derive from the structured rapid prototyping approach. Over the last four years, the approach has been spread through the medium of public seminars sponsored by data processing management associations. Both authors have delivered many seminars every year in all comers of the world. Attendees, convinced of the potential benefits, have reported successful application of this approach to software development. The bad news is that some organizations have tried what they thought was rapid prototyping with mystifyingly mixed results. Prototyped systems have sometimes proven to be difficult to maintain and may have poor performance characteristics. Amazingly, there is a renegade trend toward thinking that rapid prototyping is nothing more than hacking together some quick and dirty code, neglecting the need to complete rigorous and well-structured requirements and design specifications, then tweak the code until it does acceptable things. It is this dangerous trend that often gives prototyping a bad name. Fortunately for you, this book has nothing to do with hacking or quick and dirty programming. As the name implies, this book presents a structured methodology for the rapid creation and iterative refinement of dynamic requirements models — models that can evolve into deliverable software systems. It is a methodology that encompasses the entire software life cycle, from preproject planning to postdelivery maintenance. This is not only an approach that can be categorized as acceptable software engineering; it is an approach that epitomizes superbly elegant, state-of- the-art software engineering. Unlike structured analysis and structured design, structured rapid prototyping is very dependent on the availability of particular kinds of software…
