Structural design considerations
3. 
The prototype development effort must not be held accountable for comply-
ing with software design, coding, and other quality-related practices, which do 
not add value to the prototyping effort. This empowers the prototyping team to 
eliminate practices or procedures of which the intent will only impede the pro-
totype development effort without providing meaningful advantages.
4. 
The prototype must be properly specified and tested to ensure that it was 
designed and implemented in a manner that will substantiate the results of the 
prototype evaluation. Testing of the prototype should focus on confirming that 
the prototype properly manifests the design characteristics it was envisioned 
to represent. The intent of prototype testing is to ensure that the prototype will 
provide the data necessary to solve the problem the prototype was intended to 
resolve.
