Side Effects of Evolutionary Prototyping
In addition to its rapid-development benefits, Evolutionary Prototyping produces many side effects, most of which are beneficial. Prototyping tends to lead to:
Improved morale of end-users, customers, and developers because progress is visible
Early feedback on whether the final system will be acceptable
Decreased overall code length because of better designs and more reuse
Lower defect rates because of better requirements definition
Smoother effort curves, reducing the deadline effect (which is common when using traditional development approaches)
