Introduction of Prototyping and Testing UI/UX
Prototyping and testing are crucial steps in the UI/UX design process that help bring ideas to life and validate them with real users. Creating prototypes allows designers to simulate the user experience, identify design flaws early, and make improvements before launching the product. This course focuses on how to prototype UI/UX designs and test them using real-world scenarios, ensuring that the end product meets user needs and expectations.
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of UI/UX design principles.
- Familiarity with prototyping tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch.
- Experience with basic testing concepts and methodologies.
- Knowledge of user research techniques and how they apply to UI/UX design.
