To know or not to know - The Impact of Sharing the Purpose of a Prototyping Session with the Participants
Christian Köppe, Davy Meers, Arie van der Veek, Jouke Stoel · 2011
Prototyping is a well known technique in software engineering. According to the literature, the successful application of prototyping depends on sharing the purpose of the session with the participants upfront. However, no empirical data is offered to support this claim. In our experiment we measured if the amount of faults found per participant depended on sharing the purpose of the prototyping session upfront. The results show that in our experimental context the claim is not supported.
