The high cost of software development personnel and the high rate of system failure has resulted in a rapid expansion in Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Application Development (RAD). With the premise that a successful complex system can only be achieved if there is a working simple system, this study demonstrates how the prototyping process fits into an evolutionary software development process. The book focuses on the growth of flexible, living computer systems demanded by today's users, rather than the old method of software development without the user in mind. It provides a practical approach with many illustrated examples.

Grow Software Four Times Faster Than You Can Build It!
Time after time, I hear IS departments bemoan the fact that they BUILT the wrong system or the user failed to define the requirements clearly enough. Software engineering was a term coined back in 1970. Unfortunately, truly successful software can't be built, but it can be grown. At best, you can only determine 60% of the requirements, the other 40% must be discovered along the way. This requires a flexible, iterative approach to software development that literally GROWs the correct functionality along the way. Rapid Evolutionary Development may jar everything you know about software, but you'll become faster and more effective.
