Joint Program on Rapid Prototyping. RaPIER (Rapid Prototyping to Investigate End-User Requirements).
Abstract
This report presents the results of work performed between July 1, 1985 and January 31, 1986 with Office of Naval Research and Honeywell Computer Sciences Center. These results, and results obtained in the next several years, will be applied by the RaPIER (Rapid Prototyping to Investigate End-user Requirements) project in developing a software engineering environment to support prototyping for investigating end-user requirements. The environment supports a prototyping methodology, by which we mean a collection of techniques, a prescribed order for applying the techniques, and reasons for the techniques and their order of application. The RaPIER methodology will eventually contain techniques for each phase in the prototyping life cycle and for the transitions between phases. The RaPIER environment will contain software tools that support, encourage, and/or enforce these procedures and techniques. The RaPIER team develops new technology only when there is none available in either the commercial or the research marketplace. RaPIER is supported in part by the DoD STARS Initiative's Application Area whose main thrust is software reusability.
