Resumen

One of the problems in the software development projects is the ambiguity of the requirements or the multiple interpretations of each user. Likewise, it is known that the cost of correcting an error is less if it is detected in the early phases such as analysis and design compared to detecting in later phases such as construction and maintenance. Software prototyping is an alternative solution to this problem, helping to minimize changes and rework in the final phases of the software process and thus avoiding costs and dissatisfaction. Despite this, prototyping is not widely used in the analysis, specification, and validation of requirements activities. This work evaluates the user’s appreciation regarding the practice of working with prototypes. A questionnaire was used to assess motivation, user experience, and learning ability. The results show a positive perception of the users who participated in this case study.
