Rapid Prototyping Quiz

What is the primary purpose of a prototype in design?

• To finalize the design

• To replace the final product

• To test an idea before full development

• To create a marketing strategy

What does the 'rapid' in rapid prototyping imply?

• It is more expensive

• It is slower than traditional methods

• It is quicker and cheaper

• It requires more resources

Which of the following is NOT a stage in the rapid prototyping cycle?

• Prototyping

• Refining

• Marketing

• Reviewing

Why is rapid prototyping important?

• It helps communicate design decisions better

• It eliminates the need for user feedback

• It reduces the need for team collaboration

• It increases the time spent on documentation

What is a key benefit of using paper prototyping?

• It is only useful in the final stages of design

• It focuses on aesthetics over functionality

• It allows quick exploration of design alternatives

• It requires advanced technical skills

What should be avoided in early stages of digital prototyping?

• Gathering user feedback

• Testing on real devices

• Using dummy text like lorem ipsum

• Using real content

What is a characteristic of native prototyping?

• It does not require coding skills

• It is used to validate ideas with real users

• It is faster than paper prototyping

• It cannot be reused in the final product

What is a recommended practice when sketching prototypes?

• Focus on making sketches look pretty

• Use only digital tools for sketching

• Avoid sharing sketches with the team

• Establish a clear purpose for each prototype

What is a disadvantage of not using rapid prototyping?

• More efficient design process

• Better understanding of user needs

• Increased time and cost in the engineering phase

• Improved team collaboration

What is a tip for using digital prototypes effectively?

• Use dummy text to save time

• Prototype features that cannot be implemented

• Use them as an up-to-date specification for developers

• Avoid using real devices for testing
