The WireFrame Viewer/Editor is a tool for the gathering of
functional requirements. You and your client can sit down with
it and decide WHAT you want the the proposed application to do. You
will get to describe each stage/page/function of the application in English
or Spanish or any natural language you like. You will also define all of
the ways the application can get from one state to another state, using
Exit=Destination pairs.
Your clients can edit the wireframe data, with just a few minutes' training, and
they can browse through the proposed application, looking at each state, until they
are happy that the wireframe correctly describes the application they
want built. At this point, the wireframe datafile can be printed, or the QuickMap of the
wireframe, and signed-off by all parties.
At no time during the wireframing phase is the look of the application
considered.
The wireframe becomes part of your development agreement. Use it as the
basis for your prototype, and later as the basis for your actual code. Use
it for doing function-point estimation, as it gives a very good indication
about the number, type, and complexity of the various application functions.
Hal Helms (of course) wrote the original, and then I added a few enhancements of my own, but now our WireFrame Viewer/Editor has gone Open Source. Download the latest release, or contribute to further development, at SourceForge.
