Publisher's Synopsis
This reference explains the basics of software prototyping, and its advantages in time, cost, and quality. The authors then apply this powerful technique to the use of prototyping tools in the Windows and OS/2 environments. All information needed to grasp and apply this efficient development tool is here: full coverage of software prototyping in user interfaces; step-by-step instructions for creating prototypes; numerous case-study examples of successful prototypes. The authors are IBM staffers with considerable experience in prototyping software, both within the corporation and as consultants to outside businesses. Readers will benefit from a thorough explanation of the process of prototyping, and its rationale and application in user interface program development. Complete reviews of commercially availability tools are included, along with step-by-step instructions for creating a working prototype.
