Prototype Testing

TTool · Prototype Testing

By , Editor · · What’s Next

You've built a prototype and you're ready to show users. But the mock-up is polished where it doesn't need to be and vague where it matters most.

Prototype testing is a pre-development validation technique. You evaluate solution representations with real users — from paper sketches through interactive mockups to working software — matching fidelity to the specific questions you need answered.

A four-step numbered sequence labelled write, define, set, and read, each step pairing a verb with a short instruction (the hypothesis, the metric, the time window, against the metric you defined), beneath the banner 'specify the test before you ship.'
