3. Sdlc models
SDLC(Softwaredevelopment lifecycle) is a framework that
describes the activities performed
development project.
at each step of a software
SDLC models are following
Waterfall model
Iterative model
Prototype model
Spiral model
types:-

5. Prototype model
proposals and try them out before
 A prototyping model suggest that before carrying out the
development of the actual software, a working prototype of
the
system should be built.
 A prototype is a toy implementation of the system.
 Prototype is a working model of software with some
limited functionality.
Prototyping is used to allow the users evaluate the developer
implementation.

7. Steps of the prototype model
 Requirements gathering and Analysis:
A prototype model begins with requirementsanalysis, and the
requirements of the system are define in detail. The user is
interviewed in order to know the requirementsof the system.
 Quick design:
When requirementsare known, aquick design for the system
is created. It is nota detailed design , it includes the
importantaspectsof the system, which gives an idea of the
system to the user.

8.  Build prototype:
Information gathering from quick design is modified to form a
prototype .It represents a ‘rough’ design of the required system.
 Customerevaluation of prototype:
The build prototype is presented to the customer for
his/her
evaluation.
 Prototype refinement:
Once the user evaluate the prototype, it is refined according to the
requirements . When the user is satisfied to the developed
prototype a final system is developed based on the final prototype
, which is developed by the iterative method means we design the
system according to the final prototype , after that implement , test
the product to find the errorand at last we maintain the system.

9. Need of the prototype model:-
 Prototype provides a method to examine design
problems
and evaluating solutions.
 “…Prototypes are not self explanatory….Clarifying what
aspects of a prototypecorrespond to the eventual artifact─
and what don’t─ is a key part of successful prototyping.”
 The developmentof the prototype model is expensive but
is
a good model because it satisfy all the requirements of the
customers.

10. Advantages of the prototype model:-
 It provides a working model to the user early in the process ,
enabling early assessment and increasing the user confidence.
 The developer gains the experience and insight by developing
a
prototype , thereby resulting I better implementation of the
requirements.
 It helps in reducing the risk associated to the
project.
 The prototyping model serves to clarify requirements , which
are
not clear, hence ambiguity and improving communication
between developer and user.

11.  There is a great involvementof the users in software
development. Hence the requirements of the users are met
to the greatest extent.

12. Disadvantages of the prototype model
 If the user is not satisfied with developed prototype,
then a new prototype is developed . This process goes on
until a perfect prototype evolves. Thus this model is time
consuming and expensive.
 The developer loses focus of the real purpose of the
prototype and compromiseson the quality of the product.
Forexample:- he/she may apply some of the inefficient
algorithms or inappropriate programming languages used
in developing the prototype.

13. Prototype model can lead to the false expectations. It
often creates a situation where the user believes that the
development of the system is finished when it is not.
The primary goal of the prototype model is rapid
development. Thus, the design of the system may suffer
as it built in a series of layers without considering
integration of all the othercomponents.
