Chapter 2, Problem 2.8E
Explanation of Solution
Prototype Systems:
A system prototype is used for carrying out the design experiments to check its feasibility.
Prototype systems should not be used as production systems in normal cases because of the following reasons:
- The production system is the final outcome but the prototype will show starting of the process.
- All the objectives of the production system cannot be fulfilled by same single prototype...

You have developed a prototype of a software system and your manager is very impressed by it. She proposes that it should be put into use as a production system, with new features added as required. This avoids the expense of system development and makes the system immediately useful. Write a short report for your manager explaining why prototype systems should not normally be used as production systems.
The system must be very dependable, and you have been tasked with developing it as a software engineer. Which process model would you recommend for such software? Provide a thorough diagram to support the process model you've proposed.
A software development lifecycle has several parts. You think which phase adds to system development while needing less demand change? Back up your claims with evidence.
