- 5. “An approximation of a product (or system) or its components, in some form, for a definite purpose in its implementation” (Chua, Leong & Lim) “A visualisation of the requirements” (Arnowitz) “A representative model or simulation of the final system” (Warfel)
- 6. When applied early and often, the use of prototypes can save time and effort, reduce waste and ultimately save money Why use prototypes? • They help to generate ideas • They can communicate aspects of the design that cannot be adequately communicated by other artefacts • They increase understanding, add clarity and reduce misinterpretation • They can enable quicker identification of mistakes and risks • They can be updated quickly to reflect changes
- 8. When should we use it on projects? Representing requirements Developing concepts Early testing

- 26. Adaptive Views
- 27. Adaptive Views
- 28. Adaptive Views Process 1. Define adaptive view layouts 2. Create base layout 3. Adjust layout for next child layout 4. Continue until all layouts are defined
- 29. Adaptive Views Editing adaptive projects 1. A widget in an adaptive view inherits location, size, and style from its location, size, and style in the parent view. 2. Changes to a widget's location, size, style, or interaction styles are adaptive. Style can be different on different views. 3. Changes to properties like widget text, interactions, and enableddisabled are not adaptive. Property changes affect the widget in all views.
