This paper argues that prototyping is an integral part of the creative process and thus should be incorporated into software design methodologies. Section I examines the need for prototyping as part of the creative process. Section II develops and defines prototyping in software development. Section III discusses rapiding prototyping as a simulation. Section IV gives an example of a large software system at Lawrence Livermore, AUTOLOG, that was developed through prototyping.
