“…The paper [34] presents a first proof of concept that targets an open issue in the industry regarding automating the reuse of information included in prototypes developed with clients in the early stages of software development. Since those early prototypes are usually discarded, many times, the final product does not represent what the client expects.…”

Software development begins with the requirements. Misunderstandings with customers in this early phase of development result in wasted development time. This work investigates the possibility of using executable UI mockups in the initial phases of functional requirements elicitation during the development of business applications. Although there has been a lot of research in the field in recent years, we find that there is still a need to improve model-driven tool design in order to enable customer participation from the initial phases of requirement specifications based on working prototypes. These prototypes can directly be reused in the rest of the development process. To meet the goal, we have been developing an open-source solution called Kroki that enables rapid collaborative development. We conducted a series of 10 joint user sessions with domain experts from different domains and backgrounds, resulting in the prototype specifications ranging from 7 to 20 screen mockups accompanied with domain models, developed in two-hour time frames. In this paper, we present our tool design that contributes to rapid joint development, and the results from the user sessions.

Prototyping is a requirement technique frequently used for communication between customers and developers. Software prototypes help to understand users' expectations, but they are often seen as disposable artifacts because it is not easy to manage the transfer of knowledge from prototypes to software models or code. This chapter studies whether suitable solutions already exist for exploiting the knowledge acquired during the building of prototypes in the early phases of the lifecycle. The objective is addressed by means of a systematic literature review of approaches offering solutions for transforming software prototypes into analysis models. We propose a characterization schema for comparing them and describing the current state-of-the-art. The results reveal a need for more automated solutions that are more economical in terms of time and effort for transforming prototypes into models and thereby ensuring traceability between requirements and design artifacts.
