Interaction Prototyping
Building a working version of an interaction to test how it behaves, not just how it looks.
What is Interaction Prototyping?
Building a working version of an interaction to test how it behaves, not just how it looks.
What you learn
Make the behavior you’re testing real; fake everything else.
When it helps
a click-through demo hides behavior you need to test, like typing, dragging or timing.
Use it at work
- Write the behavior your test depends on.
- Make that behavior real, even roughly.
- Fake everything else.
- Test with people doing the real task.
Your output
Before you prototype, write the behavior your test depends on. Make that part real, even roughly, and fake the rest.
Watch for
Testing a behavior the prototype only pretends to have.
