I think prototyping is the only way to go. If you are a developer there is no excuse not to do this stage first. I also think prototyping allows you to spot the flaws early yourself and its at that point I normally shelf the project. The shelved products should be saved for another time because sometimes ideas are a bit a head of their time and people/technolgy might move up to the idea.<br />

I think the difficulty is in finding decent testers.
