Submission Format
The submission for this assignment is divided into the following deliverables:
1- An individual written Report as word document, written in a formal business style (headings,
content page, paragraphs, subsections and illustrations as appropriate, single spacing & font size 12),
supported with research and referenced using the Harvard referencing system.
2- Low-fidelity, Medium-fidelity, High-fidelity prototypes files.
3- Video as a demonstration on the developed multiple iterations prototype.
4- Signed assessment submission and declaration form attached at the end of the assignment brief.
5- Oral discussion to elaborate your accomplished work.
Unit Learning Outcomes
LO1 Explore forms of prototypes appropriate for various functionality and end user testing requirements.
LO2 Plan a prototype for specific target end users and planned tests.
LO3 Develop multiple iterations of the prototype using appropriate tools.
LO4 Evaluate user feedback and test results from multiple iterations of the prototype and end user testing.
Assignment Brief and Guidance
Scenario:
You are an entrepreneur who has an idea of a software product that provides a service or solves an issue in a field of
your choice (Health care, Education, Government, etc). And you want to participate in a competition to convince
potential investors by showing them a prototype of your product, to be legible for the competition enrolment terms
and conditions, you have to design a wireframe of your product and use it as a base for a low-fidelity prototype,
design a mock-up and use it as a base to a medium-fidelity prototype. At the end you have to design a high-
fidelity prototype; that is so close to your final product. You should prepare a full report that contains core
information about your software product that is going to be developed, your prototyping plan and the impact of
prototypes for your product with the following requirements:
1- Provide a generic description of the product that is being developed.
2- Recognise specific forms of prototyping functionality and end user testing requirements
used in software development. You are asked to review specific forms of prototyping with
the advantages, disadvantages of end-user testing requirements in terms of
appropriateness to different testing outcomes, and usefulness of identified prototyping
forms and their appropriateness of them to meet different testing outcomes. Additionally,
 your report should evaluate the standard tools available for use in prototyping by providing
a brief explanation about each tool and how they can be used in identifying and testing user
requirements effectively. (Report)
3- Having completed previous tasks, you will need to review different end user categorizations,
classifications and behavior modelling techniques specific to your prototype Next, your
report should explore a specific end user and an appropriate prototyping methodology to
test with a specific end user from the user population and apply them to select an
appropriate prototyping methodology. You are asked to suggest a plan to use appropriate
prototyping methodology and tools to conduct end-user testing effectively. Now, you will
need to evaluate the impact of common prototyping methodology within the software
development lifecycle. (Report)
4- You are asked to develop multiple iterations of the prototype using appropriate tools, during the
development process of your prototype, you should do the followings:
Explore appropriate tools to develop multiple prototypes.
Employ an appropriate set of tools to develop your plan into a prototype.
Perform end user experiments and examine feedback.
Using end user feedback build a new iteration of your prototype modified using the most
important feedback and enhancements.
Create multiple iterations of your prototype and modify each iteration with enhancements
gathered from user feedback and experimentation. based on the produced plan in the previous task,
using appropriate prototyping methodology and tool by building multiple iterations of a prototype and
modify each iteration with enhancements gathered from user feedback and experimentation as follows:

In two iterations: design a first iteration wireframe and use it as a base for low-fidelity
prototype then collect the feedback from three end-users and build a second iteration
modified using the most important end user feedback and enhancements (Low-fidelity
Prototype and Report)
In two iterations: design a mock-up and use it as a base for medium-fidelity prototype then
collect the feedback from the same three end users in and use them in your next iteration of
your medium-fidelity prototype (Medium-fidelity Protype and Report).
In the last iteration: Design a high- fidelity Prototype that reflects the feedback gathered in the
previous iterations. (High-fidelity Protype and Report).
5- Then you are asked to analyse end-user feedback from multiple iterations of your prototype and
undertake a critical review and compare your final prototype and your test results with your original
plan . (Report)
6- Finally, you are asked to Critically evaluate the overall success of your prototype and discuss your
insight using prototyping. (Report)
