Abstract
Prototyping, a method and technique frequently used in many
engineering disciplines, has been adopted as a technique in software
engineering to improve the calculation of new projects involving risks.
However, there has so far been a lack of documented experience with the
use of prototyping in industrial software production. The paper tries to
close this gap. First, we introduce central prototyping concepts and
terminology. We also present five industrial software projects in which
explicit use was made of prototyping. Based on our analysis of these
projects we present the resulting conclusions: prototyping means more
than rapidly developing user interfaces; prototyping is a central part
of a development strategy; prototyping means end user involvement;
finding the right mixture of prototypes improves the development process
