The gap between the requirements expressed by business managers and the functions implemented by IT remains one of the biggest sore points in enterprise application development, as well as one of the biggest causes of waste. Traditional requirements management tools have proven to be a partial solution, at best, to the problem. Into this gap rides a new class of tool, variously known as simulation tools, specification tools, or high-fidelity prototyping tools, that allow business users to show IT exactly what they want and that allow IT to show, rather than tell, business users what it intends to build. However, this nascent product category encompasses a wide range of interpretations of what a specification tool should be, and with product prices varying by two orders of magnitude, it is essential to establish what you expect from a tool before committing to a purchase.
