A proof-of-concept (or POC as we usually refer to them) is a quick prototype or demonstration version of software that shows whether or not a particular approach is feasible. For instance, we often do POC's for customers do demonstrate that they can, in fact, replace their existing legacy mainframe applications with modern J2EE applications that run on the same mainframe hardware and access the same databases and CICS transactions under the covers. The POC will often consist of no more than 3 or 4 screens to show that the concept is workable, even though the full system may contain 100 or 200 screens.

Thanks Kyle.
For my present project,in VB,I am going to use ActivexEXE/DCOM.So,as per yur definition,I should develop some screens,and use DCOM,to see if it is working ,and gives good performance.
Also,another question-in iterative development,will data model also be developed iteratively(ie in small chunks),since at the end of every iteration we need to do full testing(unit/acceptance)

Yes, even the data model should be developed iteratively. You only need to test what you have requirements for.

Kyle,
I have confusion over master data/form requirements.In the recent project I used usecases,but none of them indicated that some domain objects were of master type,and also that they required a form to fill the data(eg Item,Category-StoreManagement product).So,do we need to write usecases for master transactions too?

It's a tiny ad. At least, that's what she said.
