Explain what is meant by application prototyping and why the development of Fourth Generation software should support it. In what way(s) does it help software development?

What will be an ideal response?


Much of the same points made in 9.2 also apply to this question. The answer should include that
application prototyping involves building models, is an iterative process that should be carried out
quickly, relies on a lot of user involvement and intends to capture the requirements definition.
Consequently, fourth generation tools support it because they permit components such as screens
and reports to be quickly designed, generated, and altered if necessary. In considering how
software development is helped, some reference should be made to the more traditional approach
to software development.
