Prototype to Test
Collaborate with your team to document how the persona experiences the idea or prototype and its prototype variants.
Prototype to Test
Step 1. Begin by determining what assumptions you wish to verify. What insights do we need to gain to build out a solution? How can formulate assumptions to be carried out in the experiment?
Step 2. Imagine the interaction with the prototype and how the interaction will yield new insights.
Step 3. Describe the prototype variant that needs to be built. Think of all the variety of functions or possible combinations that needs to be tested.
Step 4. Collaborate with your team to determine what prototype variants should be tested and the scenario or procedure for testing.
Prototype to Test
Prototype to test documents and explore all the prototype variants that can be created. In this exercise, we can list different prototype variants and document how the user interacts with each one. Through different prototypes, we can assess if the user needs are being met.
Group Size: 5-10
Materials Needed: Print Prototype Test, Pens, Markers and Post-its,
Duration: 45-60 mins
Prototype to Test
Collaborate with your team to document how the persona experiences the idea or prototype and its prototype variants. The tool gives the practitioner useful feedback and insight into various ways the problem can be solved and which prototype variant may be the best solution.
-
Observe how the user interacts with the prototype
Validate the needs of the user and analyze assumptions
Have a deeper understanding of the potential user
Get feedback to improve desirability, feasibility, practicability
-
Work in 5-10 team member groups to determine what insights need to be gained by observing the user interact with a solution. Describe all the possible solution variants that could meet the user's needs. Finally, have a discussion on which variant should be tested and plan your experiment.

-
Translate and test out all your ideas to solve the user problem with the prototype to test.
Low-resolution simple prototypes offer the best feedback for desirability and functionality very important feedback for early ideas.
High-resolution prototypes offer the best feedback for feasibility and profitability.
Be willing to part ways with a prototype. Always be in search for a better idea.
Implement one or two functions in a low-resolution prototype.
Think of an MVP with each prototype, low cost, and minimal development.
Find inspiration for prototypes from other prototypes.
