Lesson 5

Question 1

Is a primitive representation or version of a product that a design team or front-end-development team typically creates during the design process. It is useful when discussing or evaluating ideas with stakeholders

Answer 1

Prototype

Question 2

THE ADVANTAGES OF PROTOTYPING ARE THAT YOU:

Answer 2

• Have a solid foundation
• Can adapt changes early
• Show the prototype to your users
• Have a tool to experiment
• Provide a sense of ownership
• Improve time-to-market

Question 3

Refers to how close a prototype is to the final product. A sketched prototype is a low-fidelity prototype, while a coded, HTML/CSS prototype has very high _.

Answer 3

Fidelity

Question 4

Prototyping is a quick, simple way of evolving a design idea into a somewhat more tangible representation of a software product.

Answer 4

Low-fidelity

Question 5

Examples of low-fidelity prototypes include

Answer 5

• sketches
• paper prototypes
• click-through prototypes

Question 6

The key benefits of low-fidelity prototypes are that they are _ to create and strongly support collaboration.

Answer 6

fast, easy, and affordable

Question 7

However, on the flip side, most low-fidelity prototypes are _, and those that are have limitations.

Answer 7

not clickable

Question 8

Fast and cheap; disposable; easy to make changes and test new iterations; allow a quick overall view of the product; anyone can produce them; encourage design thinking since prototypes are visibly not finalized.

Answer 8

Pros of low fidelity

Question 9

Lack of realism, so users might have a hard time giving feedback; hard to apply results from crude early versions; may be too basic to reflect the user experience of the finished product; can oversimplify complex issues; lack of interactivity deprives users of direct control; users must imagine how they would use the product.

Answer 9

Cons of low fidelity

Question 10

Prototypes are more advanced than their low-fidelity counterparts.

Answer 10

High-fidelity

Question 11

LOW-FIDELITY PROTOTYPING

Answer 11

A. Sketching
B. Paper Prototypes
C. Click-Through Prototypes
D. Wizard of Oz

Question 12

prototypes are often free-form, pen-and-pencil drawings that map out an initial idea—similar to those shown in following figure.

Answer 12

A. Sketching

Question 13

Are not the same thing as sketches. The structure of _ prototypes is more defined than that of set of sketches.

Answer 13

B. Paper prototypes

Question 14

Depict the elements on the pages of a Web site or the screens of an app.

Answer 14

C. Click-through prototypes

Question 15

Assumes that you have a software based prototype. With this technique, the user interacts with the software as though interacting with the product.

Answer 15

D. Wizard of Oz

Question 16

Are more advanced than their low-fidelity counterparts. They are more aesthetically pleasing, and their function is closer to that of the final product.

Answer 16

High-fidelity prototypes

Question 17

Examples of high-fidelity prototypes include

Answer 17

• digital prototypes
• interactive prototypes
• coded prototypes

Question 18

Engaging—all stakeholders have the vision realized in their hands and can judge how well it matches users’ needs and solves their problems;

Answer 18

Pros of high-fidelity

Question 19

Longer/costlier to create; users are more likely to comment on superficial details than on content;

Answer 19

Cons of high-fidelity

Question 20

HIGH-FIDELITY PROTOTYPING

Answer 20

A. Digital Prototypes
B. Interactive Prototypes
C. Coded, HTML/CSS Prototypes

Question 21

The most common type of high-fidelity prototype is a _ prototype that is developed using prototyping software (ex. Adobe Photoshop) that lets UX designers create aesthetically rich, interactive and even animated product prototypes of a user interface that is almost ready for implementation.

Answer 21

A. Digital Prototypes

Question 22

Are more advanced versions of click-through prototypes that you can create using a prototyping application that supports interactivity, but only medium-fidelity visual design.

Answer 22

B. Interactive Prototypes

Question 23

Creating a _ prototype is more complex because it requires the UX designer or prototype to know how to code.

Answer 23

C. Coded, HTML/CSS Prototypes
