Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The functional program that simulated the new system's input and output interface is an example of an operational prototype because it is a working model of the software system that can be demonstrated to the client. A nonoperational prototype would be a model that does not function as the actual software system would. A CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) tool is software designed to assist in software development, but the given scenario does not depict the use of a CASE tool. An RFP (Request For Proposal) is a document used to invite proposals from potential vendors, but it is not a type of prototype.
