 Correct answer is 2 Mandatory - you must prototype before you can test

I am not sure why. Because to my knowledge Prototype is always a good practice (discretionary) but not mandatory one.

Any more thoughts Folks !

Prototyping can either be a mandatory dependency or discretionary dependency, based on the terms and conditions of the contract / nature of a project. For example, if prototype is one of the deliverable as per terms of contract then it would become a mandatory dependency. There may be some cases like mission critical applications, building a prototype is part of your project plan, when it becomes a mandatory dependency

Otherwise, it can be a discretionary dependency

It all depends on the nature of project

 

These are only my views.

But if it doesn't mentions anything about the project instead just says - Prototype is ______ dependency ?
