The practice of prototyping is one of the points [[Frederick P. Brooks]] makes in his 1975 book ''[[The Mythical Man-Month]]'' and his 10-year anniversary article "[[No Silver Bullet]]".
 
An early example of large-scale software prototyping was the implementation of NYU's Ada/ED translator for the [[Ada (programming language)|Ada programming language]].<ref>{{cite journal |title=The NYU Ada Translator and Interpreter |first1=Robert B.

The NYU Ada/ED system was the first validated Ada implementation, certified on April 11, 1983.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA136759 |title=Ada Compiler Validation Summary Report: NYU Ada/ED, Version 19.7 V-001 |author=SofTech Inc., Waltham, MA |date=1983-04-11 |access-date=2010-12-16 |archive-date=2012-03-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120312080046/http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA136759 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
