Abstract

A method for developing computer program external interfaces by simulating the interfaces to allow intended users to evaluate the design of the program, even before program code for the simulated program is created.The interfaces are executed as a simulated program. During execution, the interfaces may be altered; execution can then continue using the altered interfaces.
