The best way to learn about rapid prototyping is to see a visual of the process. Below is a diagram that reflects how the method works.

The beginning of the model can be connected to the end, as it repeats in a cyclical nature.
The process begins with '''Analysis analysis and Quick Design'''quick design. This can observe and test an existing idea, often ending in a desire to change a current system. After the system is observed, initial changes are made.
After this process is completed,prototype cycles '''prototype work to test and implement changes. The cyclesconsist of '''work development, demonstration, and refinery. These allow solutions to implent changesbe created, implemented, which and revised. These cycles are continuallyreplicated at each step of the way. '''tested'''. If the cycle proves to be successful, through the initial processes of '''analysis and quick design''', it is deployed until further change is needed or desired.
