For example, the text shown in the frame is the old text rather than the text that I see in my design, and the position of elements is completely different than what I see in my design. I have double checked to make sure these old frames / text are deleted, and they are.
Hi! Yes, I was able to get in touch with support, and we figured out the issue. I had a frame nested very deep in the frame I wanted to prototype. This nested frame had vertical scrolling enabled, while the parent frame did not. Because of this, when I scrolled in the prototype, only the nested frame scrolled
Once you have tagged your iteration you can then create a Heroku app to host it. Heroku lets you have up to 5 apps on a free account, but you can verify your account by adding a credit card for 100 apps (no money is charged to the credit card).
You may have noticed that the last commit is to add a link to the previous version to the index page. This makes it easy to revisit previous iterations of the prototype to see how it has evolved. We can now create the version-2 tag, and push the tags and code to Github and our main Heroku app.
I created another new Heroku app and deployed my code to it. You can see version 3 of the prototype at -prototype-v3.herokuapp.com (username: iteration / password: prototype) and I have the main Heroku app which lists all the previous versions at -prototype.herokuapp.com (username: iteration / password: prototype).
You can view your tags on Github by clicking the releases tab. You can compare changes between tags using the compare view, by either typing in the URL in this format: github.com/username/repo/compare/tag1...tag2 or by choosing a branch, clicking the compare button, then typing the tag name into branch selector.
This looks great ... however on my team we have me (interaction designer), the content designer, and an apprentice developer all working on the repo (Github yay!) - how would this work with multiple collaborators?
We believe working in the open makes things better. This blog is for people designing all aspects of public services, from local to central government, to share their projects, ideas and concepts, or just to think out loud.
When designing with Axure, we create a prototype consisting of screenshots and flowcharts to illustrate the look, feel and behavior of the App. These can get very large and is updated often. When new versions is released, we miss a good way of indicating to others (mainly SW) what has been changed between two versions of the prototype. Not just which pages that are updated, but also which parts of a page (screen or flow) that is updated.
What we have tried so far:
Manual creation of change log: Requires much work to maintain and it is hard in text to describe exactly how a flow or screen is changed.
Export to Word and use Word compare: Not good to show which parts of a page that is updated.
is Axure doing any work on coming up with a way to handle this is in the product? I am having to provide multiple versions for Dev and Product as the two are not in sync in terms of planning. For Product I am designing one set that is looking into the future, a subset of that work is being given to Dev and QA for the current sprint. I am not sure if this is solvable, but at least having some sort of change history would help!
A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process.[1] It is a term used in a variety of contexts, including semantics, design, electronics, and software programming. A prototype is generally used to evaluate a new design to enhance precision by system analysts and users.[2][3] Prototyping serves to provide specifications for a real, working system rather than a theoretical one.[4] Physical prototyping has a long history, and paper prototyping and virtual prototyping now extensively complement it. In some design workflow models, creating a prototype (a process sometimes called materialization) is the step between the formalization and the evaluation of an idea.[5]
A prototype can also mean a typical example of something such as in the use of the derivation 'prototypical'.[6] This is a useful term in identifying objects, behaviours and concepts which are considered the accepted norm and is analogous with terms such as stereotypes and archetypes.
Engineers and prototype specialists attempt to minimize the impact of these differences on the intended role for the prototype. For example, if a visual prototype is not able to use the same materials as the final product, they will attempt to substitute materials with properties that closely simulate the intended final materials.
It is important to recognize that by their very nature, prototypes represent some compromise from the final production design. This is due to not just the skill and choices of the designer(s), but the inevitable inherent limitations of a prototype due to the "map-territory relation". Just as a map is a reduced abstraction representing far more detailed actual territory, or "the menu represents the meal" but cannot capture all the detail of the actual delivered food: a prototype is a necessarily inexact and limited approximation of a "real" final product.
Further, prototypers make both deliberate and unintended choices and tradeoffs for reasons ranging from cost/time savings to what they consider "important" vs. "trivial" aspects to focus design attention and execution on. Due to differences in materials, processes and design fidelity, it is possible that a prototype may fail to perform acceptably although the production design may have been sound. Conversely, and somewhat counter-intuitively: prototypes may actually perform acceptably but the production design and outcome may prove unsuccessful, as prototyping materials and processes may actually outperform their production counterparts.
In general, it can be expected that individual prototype costs will be substantially greater than the final production costs due to inefficiencies in materials and processes. Prototypes are also used to revise the design for the purposes of reducing costs through optimization and refinement.[17]
It is possible to use prototype testing to reduce the risk that a design may not perform as intended, however prototypes generally cannot eliminate all risk. There are pragmatic and practical limitations to the ability of a prototype to match the intended final performance of the product and some allowances and engineering judgement are often required before moving forward with a production design.
In technology research, a technology demonstrator is a prototype serving as proof-of-concept and demonstration model for a new technology or future product, proving its viability and illustrating conceivable applications.
In large development projects, a testbed is a platform and prototype development environment for rigorous experimentation and testing of new technologies, components, scientific theories and computational tools.[18]
The most common use of the word prototype is a functional, although experimental, version of a non-military machine (e.g., automobiles, domestic appliances, consumer electronics) whose designers would like to have built by mass production means, as opposed to a mockup, which is an inert representation of a machine's appearance, often made of some non-durable substance.
However, more and more often the first functional prototype is built on a "prototype PCB" almost identical to the production PCB, as PCB manufacturing prices fall and as many components are not available in DIP packages, but only available in SMT packages optimized for placing on a PCB.
In electronics, prototyping means building an actual circuit to a theoretical design to verify that it works, and to provide a physical platform for debugging it if it does not. The prototype is often constructed using techniques such as wire wrapping or using a breadboard, stripboard or perfboard, with the result being a circuit that is electrically identical to the design but not physically identical to the final product.[20]
Open-source tools like Fritzing exist to document electronic prototypes (especially the breadboard-based ones) and move toward physical production. Prototyping platforms such as Arduino also simplify the task of programming and interacting with a microcontroller.[21] The developer can choose to deploy their invention as-is using the prototyping platform, or replace it with only the microcontroller chip and the circuitry that is relevant to their product.
Prototype software is often referred to as alpha grade, meaning it is the first version to run. Often only a few functions are implemented, the primary focus of the alpha is to have a functional base code on to which features may be added. Once alpha grade software has most of the required features integrated into it, it becomes beta software for testing of the entire software and to adjust the program to respond correctly during situations unforeseen during development.[22]
Often the end users may not be able to provide a complete set of application objectives, detailed input, processing, or output requirements in the initial stage. After the user evaluation, another prototype will be built based on feedback from users, and again the cycle returns to customer evaluation. The cycle starts by listening to the user, followed by building or revising a mock-up, and letting the user test the mock-up, then back. There is now a new generation of tools called Application Simulation Software which help quickly simulate application before their development.[23]
A data prototype is a form of functional or working prototype.[27] The justification for its creation is usually a data migration, data integration or application implementation project and the raw materials used as input are an instance of all the relevant data which exists at the start of the project.
To achieve this, a data architect uses a graphical interface to interactively develop and execute transformation and cleansing rules using raw data. The resultant data is then evaluated and the rules refined. Beyond the obvious visual checking of the data on-screen by the data architect, the usual evaluation and validation approaches are to use Data profiling software[28] and then to insert the resultant data into a test version of the target application and trial its use.
