Low fidelity prototype testing of the EE app

Usability testing of a new user interface for the EE app. The paper based prototype was created to test the initial concept and improved interface.
Solutions were developed using a range of UX methodologies and techniques.

Paper prototyping works like a dream.

The hardest part is convincing others that it is worth doing. The amount of times I found major product design flaws at the paper stage, shocked me every-time. So I can't blame others for being skeptical. I couldn't believe it either until I saw it for my self.

dear people who were sent here by well meaning university tutors: your paper prototypes do not need to, and arguably should not, look like this. A paper prototype should be quick, clear, and easy to use and explain. An A4 piece of paper with every page shown on it will be quicker to make and explain than all this mess.

So many people do not realize the studies on how people give feedback towards certain mediums. I feel that some of these techniques are important to use to help guide the flow of any program which interfaces with a person.

Great, it is a big help in planning the evaluation of my design for uni :)

Just shared with my students. They're currently attempting to select software details but since the project is in it's inception, they really don't know what it needs to do yet! No point in picking out specific software at this time - it will only bog them down.

Im sure you learnd a lot as did i watching this video! Thanks for taking time to post

This will help my collegue task, thanks :D

I think you guys skipped a step, how did you know the name of the user?

[marcelscherzer]

if you put this much detail into a paper prototype you may as well just mocked it up digitally. this is just a giant waste of time. paper prototypes IMHO are just quick and dirty. The whole point and value is in that they are NOT neat and polished so that a core idea can be quickly tested. this whole keyboard / loading thing shown in the video is just wanky crap.

You can do that on a real computer in half time you did that on paper, it's so useless. The company which will ask you to do that doesn't exists. USELESS

Is this a joke? Preparing such a prototype is a waste of time. I guarantee that less time js required for even high fidelity, native prototype then to prepare this puppet show. Sometimes I think that there’s lot of BS in UX industry.
