Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of using a prototype in the requirements engineering process?

  • To help with requirements elicitation and validation (correct)
  • To run back-to-back tests
  • To develop the UI design
  • To finalize the system architecture

In software prototyping, what is the incremental approach used for?

  • Finalizing all requirements together
  • Running back-to-back tests
  • Altering only a single increment to incorporate a change (correct)
  • Implementing proposed changes in large increments

How does software prototyping benefit system usability?

  • By providing a closer match to users' real needs (correct)
  • By increasing development effort
  • By reducing system maintenance
  • By changing the system architecture
