What is software prototyping?

Basic requirement identification: This step involves understanding the basic product requirements in terms of the user interface. The software publisher decides the functionality, who the user will likely be, and what the user will want from the product.

Developing the initial prototype: In this step, the developer will consider the requirements provided by the publisher and begin to assemble a model of what the finished software product would look like.

Review of the prototype: Once the prototype is developed, it is then offered to the customer and other stakeholders in the project for review. The feedback is collected in an organized way and used for further development of the product.

Revising the prototype: The concluding step in this process is to make revisions to the prototype based on the feedback of the customer, publisher, and beta-testers.
