The task here is to identify which parts of the requirements would benefit most from the building of a prototype. For each event or use case in the requirements specification, ask the following questions:
For each event/use case, if the answers to these questions are all yes, then you have identified a prototyping opportunity. The point of building prototypes during requirements specification is to find requirements that have been forgotten and to clarify requirements that are not clear. For this reasons, Steve McMenamin refers to prototypes as "requirements bait." |
