The process of determining user requirements
for software systems is often plagued with uncertainty,
ambiguity, and inconsistency. Rapid prototyping offers an
iterative approach to requirements engineering to alleviate
the problems inherent in the process. CAPS (the Computer
Aided Prototyping System) has been built to help software
engineers rapidly construct software prototypes of proposed
software systems.We describe how CAPS as a prototyping
tool helps firm up software requirements through iterative
negotiations between customers and designers via
examination of executable prototypes.
