TY - JOUR T1 - Rapid Prototyping Using a Configurable Platform JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2013 A1 - Antonio Misaka KW - configurable platform KW - rapid prototyping KW - requirements analysis KW - software product-line engineering KW - web applications AB - This article describes an approach for speeding up the development of web applications using a configurable platform. The core idea of the approach is that developers can implement customer requirements by configuring platform components, instead of writing large amounts of “glue code” to wire the components together. This approach reduces the amount of glue code that still needs to be written and maintained, it shortens the time it takes developers to create a prototype, and it makes it easier for glue code to be reused in the future. It also allows developers to experiment with different configurations of platform components in order to find the configuration that best meets the customer's requirements. Developers are also able to manage a larger variation in customer requirements.
