What is Early Prototype Testing?
Overview
Simple and low-cost testing techniques. Usually done early in the design. Early prototype testing has less formal controls and structure.
An early prototype is an initial sample, model testing before the release of a product or system, that is designed to test a concept or assumption or to serve as a thing to test and learn. Early Prototype Testing is the first solution or the drafts toward the final product.
