چکیده

In the process of software development, the ease with which the user can perform his/her tasks in the system commonly called usability is an important requirement. The prototyping of user interfaces is one of the most widely used techniques to specify this type of requirement. This paper presents the importance and need to improve and increase the agility of prototyping interfaces in agile development processes. The authors propose a software that is able to build low-fidelity prototypes, document them and support user testing, to aid the process of interface building in the Scrum methodology.
