To do

• Decide the platform for your work

• Make sketches (+ state transition diagrams)

• Create a paper prototype or a clickable mock-up

• Prepare a testing session + test!

Paper prototypes

• Quick, disposable drafts

• Show only essential details which are needed for the first testing

• Tools: e.g. paper, pen, post-it, scissors...
