Abstract


during the past four decades, new software development approaches were presented to going with new trends of the software development companies and developers. Nowadays most software companies search to customise short period and minimal costs to produce valuable software products. These productions are within unstable, changing environments. Agile Methodologies were thus introduced to achieve the new requirements of the software development companies.  Agile development invented for handling change. The key benefit of agile methodology is used to simplify the change-oriented software engineering process, but agile methodology needs to take more consideration to user point of view. Although the weaknesses of prototyping approach have, it can be used effectively by end users to describe requirements that developers may not have considered.  This paper presents a proposed framework based on merge prototyping and agile approaches not only to cure the weaknesses of agile development and prototype methodology but to enrol the user in every single step, which will lead to faster and much accepted overall results.
