· Analyze two architectural styles of your choosing and, for each, give an example of a real-world application whose software design would benefit by incorporating your chosen style. Justify your response.
· Evaluate the driving factors or conditions that affect the selection of an architectural style for a given open-source software application. Provide two examples of these conditions and how they help determine an application’s architectural style.
JR’s post states the following:Top of Form
Data centric style- a data store will be in the center of the architecture and accessed by other components that update, add, delete or modify the data present within the store (2008). I think this type of design would work best with organizations like Walmart and Amazon. This style is flexible and promotes integrability.
Layered style- divided style is divided into various horizontal layers and each layer has some specific function. It’s a beneficial style because different individuals/teams can work on different layers that they’re knowledgeable about and most efficient. I think this style would best for bank applications.
I think the budget and the client/users would affect the selected style. Depending on what type of budget is in place affects where the money is allocated to therefore selecting the most cost-effective options. The user/client affects the style because developers would have to select an option that would be most effective for the client and the end goal.

The architectural style is a particular pattern that focuses on the large-scale of a system. And it is about selecting, adapting, and integrating several architectural styles in ways that best produce the desired result (Pfleefer & Atlee, 2010).
Two architectural styles: Component-based and pipe-and-filter.
Component-base is a method of software development whereby systems are created by assembling preexisting components (Graca, 2017). Meaning it reduced design complexity in each part solves smaller problems. Component reuse—reuse algorithm and environment model in a web application. And unit testing—where it eliminates retesting for durable components and reduces the cost of verification. A web developer uses component-based to the created web application to be more composable and performant. And the server API is more application.
Pipe-and-filter—system functionality is achieved by passing input data through a sequence of data-transforming components called filters to produce output data (Graca, 201 ...

ABOUT THE PROJECT
To follow-up on our in-class discussions, we’ve learned that understanding audience is paramount to
quality technical writing. It is the technical writer’s job to construct an appropriate document based on
what the audience expects and needs. We’ve also covered the basics of what a “good” technical
document should do. We know that a technical document should:
Address a specific audience
Facilitate an audience’s ability to solve problems, gain new information, and to carry out work
Use genre, style, design, visuals, color, type, etc. to enhance readability, clarity, and usability
Allow the audience to gain information quickly and find information easily
Furthermore, technical documents are often the result of collaboration and usually represent an
organization’s or company’s goals, culture, and values (Markel, 2015, p. 7).
We also know that usability and user-based design is important in technical writing. In the broader
sense, usability often requires testing the effectiveness of a product, design, or building. Usability
engineers, for example, might spend time testing a design for a user’s ergonomic comfort. In terms of
technical writing, usability and usability testing refers to the readability and usefulness of the document.
To further our discussion on technical writing, audience, and usability, you are going to analyze how
effectively a website or a smartphone app has constructed its interface for its intended audience. In
(Project 1: Usability) 2
other words, your job will be to navigate a website or app of your choosing and analyze how the website
or app handles (or fails to handle) the needs of i.
The document provides an overview of a workshop on user interface design using paper prototyping techniques. It discusses various models for understanding user needs, including Garrett's Elements of User Experience model. It then describes how to build a paper prototype, test it with users, identify issues, fix them, and retest in an iterative process. The goal is to design an interface that meets user needs and supports their tasks through participatory design activities like writing user stories, scenarios, and tests with paper prototypes.
Majestic MRSS provides expert usability engineering services using a rigorous process that incorporates usability activities throughout product development. This includes planning usability testing early, conducting requirements workshops with users and experts, iterative design and testing, and post-release monitoring. Majestic MRSS uses a usability lab equipped with specialized recording technology to capture user interactions and feedback, which helps identify problems and ensure usability objectives are met.
In an agile environment, establishing usability and user experience as the responsibility of the UX team is destined for conflict and frustration. Learn how transferring this ownership onto the cross-functional team ultimately responsible for delivering the experience builds trust and empowerment and ultimately provides an environment that fosters collaboration, growth and innovation. This presentation will discuss the evolution of incorporating UX into agile at AppFolio, the roles and makeup of our development teams as they exist today, and some examples of how those teams collaborate around design solutions when tackling big feature enhancements on our mature product.
The document discusses various aspects of usability testing and evaluation for websites, including definitions, methods, and best practices. Specifically, it describes heuristic evaluation, which involves examining a user interface against recognized usability principles and industry standards. Ten common usability heuristics are outlined, such as ensuring visibility of system status and having a clear match between the system and the real world. Evaluation criteria also cover areas like navigation, functionality, branding, documentation, and instructions.
Top UX Deliverables : What will I make as a UX Designer?
A UX designer typically follows a design thinking process of 5 phases: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. Key deliverables include personas, storyboards, customer journey maps to understand users; brainstorming and user flows to generate ideas; sitemaps, low- and high-fidelity prototypes to design interfaces; and usability reports and analytics to evaluate designs through user testing. These deliverables allow designers to understand users, solve problems creatively, and test solutions throughout the design process.
The document discusses usability engineering and designing user interfaces for humans. It covers several key points:
1) A user interface is the point of interaction between a user and a system, including both software and non-software elements like documentation.
2) Humans have visual, motor, and cognitive limits that should be considered in interface design. Formats and layouts should aid scanning, and memory loads and decision-making tasks should be managed.
3) Usability involves creating intuitive, learnable and satisfying interfaces so that users can efficiently accomplish their goals with minimal errors.
Majestic MRSS provides usability engineering services to help make computer products and services more usable. Their approach involves planning usability activities early in the design process, gathering requirements from stakeholders, designing interfaces iteratively based on user feedback, implementing designs according to usability guidelines, and testing products to evaluate how well requirements have been met. They provide an ROI framework explaining how usability engineering can reduce costs and increase sales, productivity, and customer satisfaction. Majestic MRSS uses a usability lab called mLAB to record and analyze user testing sessions.

Innovation in product form and function: customer perception of their valueGurdal Ertek
The goal of product design is to obtain the maximum effect with minimum cost in functionality and aesthetic beauty. Consumers are attracted to the designs that reflect their use behaviors and psychological responses more than they are to the simple visual
representations. When product functions and qualities are similar across products, customers make their purchasing decision upon aesthetic form. Form presents a significant competitive factor that improves the value of a product. Overall, the purpose of this study is to examine the most important product design factors that affect the market share trends of mobile phone companies. Study uses product characteristics for
1,028 mobile phones released between 2003 and 2008 as a case study. The multiple linear regression analysis is used to select highly correlated variables that influence the market share, and Mallow's Cp method is used to determine the best-fitting model. The Partial Regression Coefficients are used to evaluate the relative importance of design criteria. The nine mobile phone design features that affect the market share were
identified, and the block form style is determined as the most important design factor. Using these approaches, this study demonstrates how investments should be directed in the next mobile phone design process.

User experience design involves creating and coordinating all digital and physical elements that affect a user's experience with a company to influence perceptions and behaviors. Starting a new project requires understanding the company culture, types of websites, and people involved. Well-written proposals provide stability and protection by outlining the project overview, approach, deliverables, costs, and payment schedule. Defining user groups involves researching attributes and prioritizing which groups to focus on. Prototyping and testing designs with users helps improve the design by synthesizing feedback. After launch, log file data and customer feedback are analyzed to identify issues and plan further testing.
User interface design aims to create systems that are usable and adaptable to changing user needs. Good UI design considers principles of layout, color theory, and negative space while ensuring visibility of system status and directing attention to important elements. Forms and input fields should be automatically focused to improve usability. Error messages should be polite, consistent, and constructive based on the user's background and experience.
This document discusses the requirements definition phase of designing a geospatial web site. It explains that this phase focuses on defining the target audience, site goals, user needs, and business goals through tools like personas, use cases, and competitive analysis. The document outlines 5 planes of web design - strategy, scope, structure, skeleton, and surface. At the strategy plane, requirements definition helps understand who the site is for and its purpose. Personas and use cases are examples of requirements definition tools. The scope plane refines functional and technical specifications. Structure and skeleton planes elaborate on information architecture and wireframes without graphical design details. The overall goal is to design an intuitive, transparent, efficient, well-organized and relevant site through a user
This document discusses user-centered design and the roles of web designers. It explains that web designers encompass skills in graphic, UI, and UX design. The standard web development process involves planning, design, production, and launch. Planning includes defining user needs through research and analysis. Design involves wireframes, prototypes, and visual design. UX design focuses on ensuring a positive user experience through attributes like usability, ease of use, and minimizing errors. The goal of user-centered design is to optimize products around how users want to use them rather than forcing users to change behavior.
Everyone always want their own site look nice but how much they know about their user characteristics. This presentation will guide you about "key success factor to design a web site", "how to reach your target", "leading to win-win situation" and "testing your site and analyze results"

According to a cross-cultural study of 186 societies, attitudes toward homosexuality vary significantly across cultures. Only 31% of societies studied stigmatized homosexual behavior, while 38% viewed it as a normal developmental phase for youth and 18% accepted committed same-sex relationships as an alternative form of marriage. The historical stigmatization of homosexuality in America is a product of enculturation rather than universal moral values.

Post-World War II American art differed from European art by embracing abstract expressionism through artists like Jackson Pollock and his drip paintings, while European art focused more on figurative styles. Pollock's painting Number 1, 1950 (Lavender Mist) used dripped and splattered oil paint on canvas in 1950, as did Willem de Kooning's Woman I in 1952, showing the abstract expressionist movement in America.

. The Questioned Documents Unit (QDU) provides forensic support .docxmadlynplamondon
. The Questioned Documents Unit (QDU) provides forensic support to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies by conducting examinations on evidence collected during their investigation as well as expert testimony concerning information contained in the reports. The Cryptanalysis and Racketeering Records Unit (CRRU) supports law enforcement by assisting in the analysis of cryptic communications such as codes found in letters, notes and diaries (FBI.gov).
After an individual is arrested, I will obtain fingerprints and photographs of the subject and complete a number of forms that are used to start a criminal file on the subject. I will use the Buccal Collection DNA test kit provided by the FBI on my subject. Once completed properly and submitted to the FBI, the kit will be sent to the Federal DNA Database Unit (FDDU). The FDDU will take the DNA test kit and upload it into NDIS creating a DNA profile for my subject. The subject’s DNA profile will be searched against unknown forensic profiles from crime scenes across the country. If my subject’s DNA matches with another crime from another state he can be charged for that crimes as well. In my opinion this is the most important service the FBI has. This allows all agencies to communicate and share information based off of DNA evidence. The flaw is that they need the criminal to be apprehended and processed in order for the DNA to be in the system.
In Knoxville Tennessee, FBI Emergency Response agents train how to excavate a body at the Body Farm. The agents pair up in teams with forensic anthropologists to learn how to best identify and excavate human remains to preserve the clues and pieces of evidence that decaying bodies may leave behind. The weeklong training gives agents step by step instructions while surprising the agents with twists and surprises during their excavations. This was very interesting to me because it helps put things into perspective. Teaches them to put the victim first, which will motivate them to slow down, be methodical with their techniques and be very thorough because it only can be done once.

The Jewish Trinity : Sabbath,Shekinah and Sanctuary 4.pdfJackieSparrow3
we may assume that God created the cosmos to be his great temple, in which he rested after his creative work. Nevertheless, his special revelatory presence did not fill the entire earth yet, since it was his intention that his human vice-regent, whom he installed in the garden sanctuary, would extend worldwide the boundaries of that sanctuary and of God’s presence. Adam, of course, disobeyed this mandate, so that humanity no longer enjoyed God’s presence in the little localized garden. Consequently, the entire earth became infected with sin and idolatry in a way it had not been previously before the fall, while yet in its still imperfect newly created state. Therefore, the various expressions about God being unable to inhabit earthly structures are best understood, at least in part, by realizing that the old order and sanctuary have been tainted with sin and must be cleansed and recreated before God’s Shekinah presence, formerly limited to heaven and the holy of holies, can dwell universally throughout creation

JR’s post states the following:Top of Form
Data centric style- a data store will be in the center of the
architecture and accessed by other components that update, add,
delete or modify the data present within the store (2008). I think
this type of design would work best with organizations like
Walmart and Amazon. This style is flexible and promotes
integrability.
Layered style- divided style is divided into various horizontal
layers and each layer has some specific function. It’s a
beneficial style because different individuals/teams can work on
different layers that they’re knowledgeable about and most
efficient. I think this style would best for bank applications.
I think the budget and the client/users would affect the selected
style. Depending on what type of budget is in place affects
where the money is allocated to therefore selecting the most
cost-effective options. The user/client affects the style because
developers would have to select an option that would be most
effective for the client and the end goal.

Architectural Styles" Please respond to the following:
Analyze two architectural styles of your choosing and, for each,
give an example of a real-world application whose software
design would benefit by incorporating your chosen style. Justify
your response.
The architectural style is a particular pattern that focuses on the
large-scale of a system. And it is about selecting, adapting, and
integrating several architectural styles in ways that best produce
the desired result (Pfleefer & Atlee, 2010).
Two architectural styles: Component-based and pipe-and-filter.
Component-base is a method of software development whereby
systems are created by assembling preexisting components
(Graca, 2017). Meaning it reduced design complexity in each
part solves smaller problems. Component reuse—reuse
algorithm and environment model in a web application. And
unit testing—where it eliminates retesting for durable
components and reduces the cost of verification. A web
developer uses component-based to the created web application
to be more composable and performant. And the server API is
more application.
Pipe-and-filter—system functionality is achieved by passing
input data through a sequence of data-transforming components
called filters to produce output data (Graca, 2017). And pipes
are connectors that simply transmit data from one filter to the
next without modifying the data. The pipe-and-filter
architecture inspired by the Unix technique of connecting the
output of an application to the input of another via pipes on the
shell (Oreilly, n.d.). The architecture consists of one or more
data sources connected to data filters via pipes. Filters process
the data they received by passing them to other filters in the
pipeline (Oreilly, n.d.).
Evaluate the driving factors or conditions that affect the
selection of an architectural style for a given open-source
software application. Provide two examples of these conditions
3. and how they help determine an application’s architectural
style.
By design, the manager(s) is one of the driving factors that
affect the selection of an architectural style, the resources
needed (i.e., budget, support staff), and end-users needs in
selecting the architectural style.

"Menu Selection and Organization" Please respond to the
following:
· Describe the considerations that you would take into account
when selecting the menu style for an application and why.
Support your response with examples.
· Imagine you have been asked to help a novice designer
effectively organize his menu content in an application. Provide
the novice designer with the advice you feel would be most
helpful when organizing content for menus. Support your
response.
4. DI post states the following:
I would advise the novice designer to ensure the primary
navigation should have limited options to provide an interactive
organized display (Hidayat & Purwanto, 2015). It is also
essential to organize content based on the priority value and
important content to come first for the first impression.
Questions to be answered:
1. In other words, limited options so that the user can feel
empowered without becoming confused coupled with prioritized
choices in those options.
2. So, does that mean that someone that is not a novice designer
should approach men use differently?
3. On a priority scale, would you rush a product to make
delivery date with a poor menu or push delivery back? What
would be the ramifications?
JN’s post states the following:Top of Form
Greetings Class,
Several considerations to take when selecting a menu style
are the following: Visibility, Informative, Coordinate with users
by themselves, and manipulating menus should be easier for
users. (Ajermani, S., 2018) Visibility is important because the
menu items/images should coordinate with the function, it
should also be easy to read for large and small screens; having a
menu too large would not be visually helpful - adding sub-
menus will help with the problem. Informative menus are easy
to understand and explain what is occurring within that menu,
like the "tools" option should indicate tools available within
that menu. Coordinate with users by themselves, this means a
developer should not be designing a brand new menu that's
never been seen before, it should follow general menu builds
and not be too complex. Manipulating menus should be easier
for users, this is generally important for mobile type
5. applications that utilize touch for navigating menus; menus
should not be too small or too hard to read or touch to guide
through.
The most helpful piece of advice for a novice user is to
"simplify the user journey" (Smith, A., 2019). A menu should
be extremely easy to understand and should follow a general
guide. Assist the users in completing whatever task or goal they
are trying to accomplish. Utilizing Top level menus to avoid
clutter will help the user keep focus and guide them on the path
they are taking.

or this scenario, let's say the application is selling apparel. A
menu style that would support desktop and mobile viewing is
two-dimensional mega menus. Two-dimensional mega menus
provide a sleek overview of items with clickable graphics and
pictures. Apparel websites like BCBG use two-dimensional
mega menus, ensuring simplicity in engaging the user for
purchase. When opened in the mobile, it displays one item at a
time in a scrollable design. Of course, the website would
include sequencing with the seasons in trend as the main
display, unless user searches for specific choices using familiar
phrasing such as "size " in simultaneous menus. The layout can
cover many styles depending on the website's themes and tools
like WordPress. Also, a user logs in for purchases, so a form
6. fill-in is required to personalize the shopping experience. A
menu style depends on how the designer wants the user to
interact with the system and what is being marketed
(Shneiderman, Plaisant, Cohen, Jacobs, & Elmqvist, 2016) .
For a novice designer, I would recommend looking at similar
popular websites to get a good idea of the layout for the menu
setup. Ask questions. Some questions to ask are, how do I want
a user to interact with the menu? What is it I am trying to
accomplish with this menu? How do I want my display to look?
What actions are needed from the user to access information
from the menu? Is this menu friendly for mobile and desktop
use? Do pop-up menus serve a purpose for the user? Also, I
would recommend looking at guidelines to create universal
usability for menu items ensuring ease of use and simplicity.

PF Question:
How does user empowerment relate to the Mandel criteria for
user interfaces?
JN’s post states the following:Top of Form
Greetings Class,
As a software development company delivering services to a
customer, it is vital to ensure the delivered product will meet
the user needs. It should also make the user's job easier and
simpler. A command line tool does not do this, it must be
interacted with and could cause some serious errors from typos
and other type of mistakes. Direct manipulation is more of user
interface with a "point and click/touch interaction" with objects.
This is often much easier to work with and can be extremely
simple to learn. Although it might looks better and also only
allow the required actions, a company could find it more secure
than direct manipulation; since the command line is being
removed from the user. (Sherugar, S., & Budiu, R., 2016) The
best route is to build a GUI/DM interface which can easily be
learned and worked that removes the possibility for errors and
needing a more advanced user.
Virtual reality is a where a user leaves the real world and
interacts with a digital environment through the use of headsets.
Augmented reality is where a user experiences virtual (fake)
objects on the real world. Mixed reality is newer type of reality
which brings interaction with virtual objects into play with the
real world where virtual objects change or manipulate based on
the interaction. (Marr, B., 2019) An example of way this
technology could be used in the future to improve a function
would be surgeons learning to operate, through the use of mixed
8. reality a surgeon could practice on a virtual subject in order to
ensure they are doing the procedure properly. They could then
play it back to verify that what occurred truly happened and
would be a great training tool.

Good Evening Classmates and Professor,
· Your software development company has been contracted to
build a tool that will manage user accounts and rights in an
Active Directory environment. One of your developers tells you
that he wants the tool to make use of direct manipulation. A
second developer argues that a command line structure would be
a better and more secure approach. Take a stand on this
argument, providing at least three positives of each approach,
and then make a decision for this project and support it.
Active Directory environment can be done from the Graphical
User Interface (GUI), but the commands available from a
command prompt can be very powerful and can save you time.
Command line is more secure because you have to run it in
elevated mode, As Administrator, and you must be in
administrative group(s) to run the commands.
Also you can use PowerShell which is a task automation and
configuration management framework from Microsoft,
9. consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting
language. Windows PowerShell is a command-line shell and
scripting language designed especially for system
administration. ... Built on the .NET Framework, Windows
PowerShell helps IT professionals to control and automate the
administration of the Windows operating system and
applications that run on Windows Server environment. By
command lines having simple design means there is better
security.
Direct manipulation takes a lot longer than command lines and
is equated to WYSIWYGs. With Direct manipulation, repetitive
tasks are not well supported.
The positives of direct approach is as follows:
1. Easy to learn for the user and easy for users to retain what
they have learned.
2. Also with the direct manipulation approach, it presents tasks
concepts visually (GUI)
3. It encourages exploration – make users want to explore the
interface.
The positive command line structure
1. Scalability –handles scalability easy and quickly. Allows a
single action to be taken to achieve results over large numbers
of discrete tasks.
2. Simple design –simplicity yields security
3. Has a simpler interface – it doesn’t rely on menus or buttons
to get tasks done
For this project, to build a tool that will manage user accounts
and rights in an Active Directory environment, I would use
command line, power shell and GPOs instead of direct
manipulation because command lines are more scalable. You
can have more control using command lines, capable of
multitasking by joining syntax just can’t see it and faster
10. performance with just the use of a keyboard and lastly,
command line uses a lot less resources and command line
doesn’t change as much as GUIs does/can. Programmers lean
more towards Command Lines and with building a tool, it is
best to stick with command lines.

· Describe virtual and augmented reality. Suggest a way in
which this technology could be used in the future; either to
improve a current process / procedure or create a new process /
procedure. Provide an example of your suggested use of the
technology
Virtual Reality is the use of computer technology to create a
simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR
places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen
in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with
3D worlds. "Virtual Reality is an interactive immersive 3D
computer generated simulation, designed to make the user
believe, to the greatest extent possible, that they are actually
experiencing a real environment." According to Forbes
magazine, virtual reality (VR) is the next big wave of the
future. VR replaces boring, flat monitors with 3D worlds that
immerse users in unique visual experiences.
Augmented Reality is a view of the real, physical world in
which users find elements enhanced by computer-generated
11. input. Designers create inputs ranging from sound to video, to
graphics to GPS overlays and more, in digital content that
responds in real time to changes in the user’s environment,
usually movement.
Virtual reality can be extremely useful in the medical schools
were students can perform virtual complex surgeries before
performing in the real world. This could do both improve a
process and create a new process.
Augmented reality concept will only take off universally when
UX designers think about how they can integrate AR with daily
life to improve productivity, efficiency or quality of
experiences. This technology superimposes a CG image on a
user’s view of the real world. Unlike virtual reality, where
everything a user sees is generated by a computer, augmented
reality keeps the real-world focus, but just adds elements that
aren’t really there to enhance the user’s experience. Google is
reintroducing Google Glass as an augmented reality tool for the
workforce.

The best example I could think about for a prototype of a
software system is a cloud system. The reason I selected the
cloud system based on some exposure in the development of a
cloud solution for an organization I worked in. The conception
of the cloud is not something brand new; however, the
organization did not have a commercial cloud service available
to its customers. The process started within the Innovation
Team, where the team spent a short amount of time asking
customers what type of business needs would cloud help them
with. Those needs turn into a set of requirements, and then the
team used that information to develop a prototype or shell of
what the commercial cloud service would entail. Using agile
and scrum, the team developed a minimal viable product (MVP)
on what the solution would have to operate. The prototype was
presented back to those customers to "test drive" and provide
feedback where the prototype transform based on the feedback
into a more robust solution. The team was able to recruit
customers to help in building on the prototype base on their
experience or interest. Now a time of five, with only two being
a technical resource, ended up compromising on 10-12, allow
for more investment, both funding and people, to expand the
prototype into that robust system. Development work was able
to be farmed out to more people so that resource-load would be
more balanced between 10-12 versus 2. Experience levels also
increased, allowing for more development work completed. As
13. more interest came, the development process reduced due to the
volume of developers. The development model was more
advance as the development and user interaction was almost
simultaneously since these users were now part of the overall
team — the real-life experience help to shake out issues or
errors before the final development was completed.
Overall,l prototyping is a great way to develop software. The
ability to build, test,t and then rework real-time help with
ensuring your product is viable early in the process. Having the
minimal requirements and then build from there while the
inclusion of the customers helps to achieve a final solutions that
is able to be used sooner than later. I wast better than spending
a lot of time collecting requirements only to learn that when
you're ready to build,d the requirements will have
change. Prototyping is beneficial because your customers are
part of the process,s and instead of waiting until the end, they
are available to provide insight on the product development to
help shape the product to meet their satisfaction. It included
addressing functionality issues or errors early in the
development process,s and it allows them to understand the
functionality of how the system will support operations when
implemented.
Give a different example of a software system for which
developing a prototype would not result in saving a significant
amount of development time. Explain why the prototype will
not save development time.
The website for a new small business may not be a good fit with
prototyping and saving development time. Small businesses
have limited personnel,l, and those employees (users) usually
are focused on running the business. Spending time to provide
requirements,s and being part of a team to develop the site may
not be available due to other work priorities. The business may
not be able to invest the time and money to through the
14. prototype process. If there are no users available, the
prototyping process would be ineffective because the user is
needed for requirements gathering or available to the
development team to identify functionality errors.

JR’s post states the following:Top of Form
A prototype can help in a case where a hospital wanted to
implement a new system. A prototype is a mock-up of the
desired functionality of a system (Fairley, 2009). Creating a
prototype can help in this case by showing which approaches
are useful and which ones are a waste of time. The prototype
can also help with finalizing requirements and showcasing
which requirements aren’t necessary. A prototype in this case
can give the hospital staff a real-life representation of what they
would be using and be able to give their input accordingly.
I think in a situation where delivery of a product needs to be
quick or funds are low, a prototype wouldn’t be beneficial. A
prototype can be time consuming and sometimes costly. A
prototype wouldn’t save time in this case because developers
would have to create, develop, test and then wait to get
feedback from users/involved parties.
