Model-Driven Prototyping for Corporate Software Specification

Corporate software development faces very demanding challenges, especially concerning the design of user interfaces. Collaborative design with stakeholders demands modeling methods that everybody can understand and apply. But when using traditional, paper-based methods to gather and document requirements, an IT organization often experiences frustrating communication issues between the business and development teams. We present ways of implementing model-driven prototyping for corporate software development. Without harming agile principles and practice, detailed prototypes can be employed for collaborative design. Model-driven prototyping beats a new path towards visual specifications and the substitution of paper-based artifacts.
