Study Notes
Prototyping in Mobile App Development
- Prototyping provides a clear visualization of the app’s final appearance for the customer.
- Streamlines design development by emphasizing critical interface elements.
- Serves as a valuable tool for clients who lack a clear vision of app functionality.
- Effective planning during prototyping helps prevent significant changes later in the design process.
- Identifies unnecessary elements early, reducing designer workload and saving costs for the customer.
- Enhances collaboration between designer and customer, leading to a clearer understanding of the final product.
Advantages of Prototyping
- Improves technical feasibility of the app.
- Increases overall quality through thorough testing for usability.
- Allows for navigation checks of the application.
- Clearly communicates ideas to customers.
- Minimizes risks associated with app development.
- Simulates the final product for realistic feedback.
- Facilitates focused feedback during the design process.
- Enables efficient planning and design iteration at lower costs.
