As the Prototyping Life Cycle progressed the requirements review phase was
encountered multiple times, particularly after each module was coded. This was done so
that the owner of the project at ARC could comment on the prototype in regard to the
functionality of the application and so they could determine if anything was missing.
Often times new requirements were added to the project and the prototype had to be
revised.
One added requirement of interest was that the user needed a way to reset his
password if it was forgotten. The solution to this requirement was that the system would
generate a new password for the user, send him an e-mail which had a link in it to
activate the password, and after the password was activated the user would be allowed to
log into the system to change his assigned password. Another requirement was that the
application had to allow for the population of Portable Document Format (PDF)
documents with specific information about the lead for which the document was being
created. These documents were typically legal documents for the sale, leasing and
financing of homes. The prototype was moved to the test environment during this phase
for testing by ARC employees and they noted any bugs with the system so those
problems could be resolved.
