User testing and rapid prototyping

- An important part of any design process…is taking your ideas and testing them…with potential end users.…This process of making and testing…is called evaluative research.…In this video, we'll look closer at rapid prototyping…and user testing as two tools to help inform…your final design solution.…Both methods work hand in hand through a cycle of…testing, reviewing, and refining to help achieve…the best final solution.…Testing means sharing built prototypes with end users…to determine what's successful and what isn't.…

Then you review the user feedback…to identify parts of the prototype that need to be revised.…Refining is interpreting and converting that feedback…back onto the prototype,…and this process of testing, reviewing, and refining…is repeated until a successful outcome is reached.…A prototype is a rough mock-up of your final solution…that you can test with your end user.…A prototype may take on a digital form,…such as an interactive PDF, website wireframe,…or click through storyboard,…or it may also take on a physical form,…
