Hello Class,
Prototyping is a software engineering technique that involves creating a preliminary
version of a software application to evaluate its design, functionality, and usability before
developing the final product. It allows developers to identify potential issues, gather feedback
from users, and make necessary adjustments before investing time and resources into the full-
scale development process. An example of prototyping in software engineering is the
development of a mobile app. A team might create a basic version of the app with limited
functionality to test its user interface, navigation, and overall design. This prototype can be
shared with potential users to gather feedback and identify areas for improvement. Based on the
feedback, the team can adjust the design and functionality before moving forward with the full
development of the app.
