Tic Tac Toe Prototype
It is not necessary to show every possible user
story. After you have shown a few, you can
write the rest in text. For example:
Sample Games
Beginners want to see some sample games
so they can learn more quickly. The program
could have a database of sample games,
and run in “Demo” mode to display them.
Tic Tac Toe Prototype
It is helpful to name the stories (scenarios).
This prototype showed the following:

1. Human Player Wins


2. Computer Wins
3. Computer Warns About Stupid Move
4. Computer Rejects Cheater Moves
5. Human Chooses Playing X or O
6. Computer Stores and Displays Demo Games
7. Computer Recognizes a Drawn Game
PowerPoint for Prototypes
It is not a requirement to use PowerPoint for your
prototype(s), but it has several advantages:

1. Puts the programmer in the right “mood”


2. Screen design is quick and easy
3. It keeps sample screens organized
4. Can easily copy and paste new screens
5. Gives the user a “feeling” for the features
6. You can easily save, modify, and print screens
Prototypes and Automation
• Don’t waste time trying to automate your
prototype – the stories can be linear
• Keep notes about automation that will be
required in your solution – for example:
- Computer “knows” the rules
- Computer can recognize a winning move
- Computer recognizes game over,
including a tie
