Computer Science Homework Help

I’m studying for my Computer Science class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Prototyping is an essential part of the iterative design process. The purpose of prototyping is to allow users and various stakeholders to interact with the product being developed and test usability. Most importantly, prototyping allows designers and developers to make essential design decisions throughout the iterative process. Depending on the product being designed, your prototype selection may vary.

Choose a category of software from the following list:

• New website
• Revision of a website
• New smartphone app
• Update of an accounting software system

Now you are planning to develop or modify your chosen category. What type of prototype do you use? Address the following as you justify your choice:

• What is it you want to learn from prototyping?
• What does your chosen prototype offer that other methods do not?
• What steps would you have to take to create your prototype?
