What is the purpose of prototyping in software systems?

To test and experiment with system designs

To construct a partial implementation for production use

To develop a complete version of the system

To help elicit and validate system requirements (correct)

What is the main characteristic of a prototype in hardware systems?

It is easy to develop quickly (correct)

It is a complete version of the system

It is intended for production use

It is used to elicit system requirements

What is the main advantage of using prototyping for requirements elicitation?

It makes the system available early in the development process

It helps in developing the complete system

It allows users to experiment with the system (correct)

It provides a subset of the system
