With prototyping software, no coding is required. As you might imagine, coding is a complex and time involved process. It's not easy to make changes and it takes time to develop a quality product. Eliminating the coding process is critical to moving quickly and making changes. This also means that a prototype has minimal possible paths to complete a task.
