Proof of Concepts are kinda like demos, their used to see if an idea is feasible - ie, usually lacking an serious error handling, fluffy interfaces, etc... Just enough to see if your idea is possible and to workout any major problems before commiting serious time and money to something


Thank-you for your take on the meanaing of POC, and the for the Wikipedia link too.

When I google the term it did seem to come up a lot with various security-related text within what google came up with. And the dictionary term does mention computer security, but the implication seems to be that when poc is used in the computer security arena it means "exploit" (paraphrased - exploit meaning taking advantages of glitches in software in order to bring a computer to it knees). So POC in computer security is very different from POC in application design!

From Wikipedia: A proof of concept is a short and/or incomplete realization (or synopsis) of a certain method or idea(s) to demonstrate its feasibility. The proof of concept is usually considered a milestone on the way of a fully functioning prototype. In computer security the term proof of concept (proof of concept code or PoC) is often used as a synonym for exploit.

Also I just noticed it was worthwhile to click on the Wikipedia discussion for it came up with this: ( Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proof_of_concept") As the encyclopedia mentions POC is a incomplete or short way of realizing the feasibility of an idea. In the field of software ,for the Production environment the POC is developed after the project comes to a particular company. Further, the company discusses what method should it follow for the solution. This is acheived by a lab set up where the research is done. This helps in building the POC.

How in the world I will study or find more documentation for "evaluate for proof of concept" is another challange! I did notice that the skills measured list for the 780-547 test also has "create a proof-of-concept prototype" which is exactly what your are talking about! Maybe reviewing the Microsoft whitepaper for something they did with Northface http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/fluid.asp[^] will help?
