A Prototype Collaborative Develop System Base On Axure Rapid Prototyping

Axure Rapid Prototyping(Axure RP) is a rapid prototyping tool. In the application development based on browser server architecture, product manager always use Axure RP to do product prototype iterative. Axure RP can quickly build wireframe contains notes, coding experience is not require when generating contains advanced interactive events(such as mouse move in interactive action page page) prototype, and can quickly export application prototype HTML file, convenient transfer, and allow users view the application prototype through browser, and don’t need to install any other tools. Axure RP not only improved the product managers and developers to communicate with project stakeholders, the way of communication are improved. Axure RP enables developers to understand the application of the prototype greatly reduce the cost, simplify the software and software development process. Axure RP produced a prototype display, can give developers a quick feedback problem, iterative. Thus, in the process of web application development, the use of Axure RP has great significance on promoting agile development. At the same time because of its excellent prototype build experience, the convenience of the export HTML format of the document, in the development of mobile applications, has gradually come in handy. Mobile application development is more and more used to Axure RP to make the prototype development.Although the Axure RP has a very high value in the application of Web prototyping, but in the process of prototyping and display of mobile terminal applications, but there is a lot of problems. First of all, the application of mobile terminal is not exactly like the web application, through a variety of mouse events to trigger the jump page, but through gestures and finger clicks to operate. The interaction process and the traditional web application is very far, so the general browser through mouse operation, interactive simulation gestures are often not very good. Secondly, Axure RP is not on the mobile terminal client software, resulting in prototype does not generate easily into the mobile terminal, for display and use. More importantly, after the prototype is transmitted to the mobile terminal, there are also general browser gesture full screen browsing and application of gesture interaction using the browser itself shows the problem of serious conflict. So, in the development process of mobile terminal applications, Axure RP did not play its due role.This collaborative system, myAxure, for Axure RP prototyping and display in the mobile terminal application problems, optimize the process improvement. The first use of Axure RP high fidelity prototype made, generated HTML file, upload to the server to generate myAxure secret key distribution. Then according to the secret key mobile terminal to download the corresponding application prototype in myAxure, and through the application of the HTML analysis, the web prototype can run. Finally, in the myAxure mobile terminal special browser, access to the local HTML file, display prototype. MyAxure through the system flow added, to solve the Axure RP in the use and display of mobile terminal application prototype problems. MyAxure system is a set of PC from the end of each project to distribute the prototype role process, the localization of HTML files to make application prototype show influence from the network operation, to develop special effects on the browser, browser application prototype removal display. The Axure RP application prototype in the field of application of the mobile terminal still play it to promote the agile development, software process improvement.
