FEATURED PAPER

Mockup Based Development

By Pavan Kumar Gorakavi

Agile denotes nimbleness, a light‐weight systems development methodology, based on iterative development where solutions evolve from tightly collaborated cross‐functional teams.  Agile process relies on Individuals and interactions over process and tools, Working software over comprehensive documentation, Customer collaboration over contract negotiation,  and Respond to change over following a plan.  In this paper I am going to present a new methodology,  Mockup  based Methodology(MBD),  which  depicts development of software solutions using mockups.

Mockup based methodology relies on Agile manifesto for its underlining concepts.  MBD is an iterative approach where a mockup for the entire application is developed upfront by mockup team, which includes project sponsors, UI designers, Team Leads and other key players. After the initial version of mockups are delivered, subsequent design, development and testing takes place.

This iterative approach yields a prototype in first few weeks there by reducing the issue of ‘This is not what I expect’
