Iterative Design

What is the primary characteristic of an iterative design process?

• It follows a strict, linear sequence of steps

• It repeats stages to refine and improve the design

• It requires no testing until the final stage

• It focuses only on the initial concept without changes

Which of the following is an advantage of iterative design?

• It eliminates the need for user feedback

• It allows for continuous improvement of the design

• It is faster than linear design processes

• It requires less testing than other methods

In which situation is iterative design most useful?

• When the design problem is simple and well-defined

• When there is no time for multiple testing phases

• When the design is complex and requires refinement

• When the design must be completed in one attempt

What is typically the first step in an iterative design cycle?

• Final product delivery

• Testing the prototype

• Building a prototype

• Analysing feedback from the previous iteration

How does feedback influence the iterative design process?

• Feedback is ignored in favor of following the initial plan

• Feedback is used to refine and improve the design in the next iteration

• Feedback is only considered at the end of the project

• Feedback is used to justify the initial design choices without changes

Which of the following is NOT a step in an iterative design process?

• Testing the prototype

• Implementing feedback

• Discarding all previous iterations

• Analysing the design’s performance

Why might iterative design be preferred over linear design in certain projects?

• It allows for more rigid structure

• It is less expensive

• It provides flexibility to improve the design as new information arises

• It reduces the need for communication among team members

In iterative design, what is the main purpose of creating a prototype?

• To serve as the final product

• To gather data for improving the next version of the design

• To skip the need for detailed design

• To reduce the cost of production

Which phase in an iterative design process is repeated the most?

• Problem definition

• Conceptual design

• Testing and evaluation

• Final production

What role does user feedback play in iterative design?

• It is only collected at the beginning

• It is used to justify the final product without changes

• It is essential for guiding modifications in subsequent iterations

• It has no impact on the design process
