A prototype plays an important role in UX design. Using a good prototype can test out how users will experience your product. It interacts with them before they commit to a layout. Their path towards a profitable software product will begin after testing those designs, keeping what works, and reworking what doesnu2019t. High-fidelity prototypes and low-fidelity prototypes are two types of software prototypes. <br><br>

Purpose of High Fidelity Prototypes When you want to generate or validate design ideas ● When you communicate interaction design ideas ● For user and usability testing ● When you want to check how users and their behaviors are affected by transitions and ● animations When you want some kind of user survey or feedback to learn how your targeted users feel ● about your product
What are the High Fidelity Prototypes? High-fidelity prototypes are computer-based interactive representations of a product that closely resemble its final version. In high-fidelity, the word ‘high’ or ‘hi’ refers to a comprehensive level that allows you to check usability in detail and analyze user behavior.
Advantages of Using High Fidelity Prototypes It is easier to collaborate with developers when they have access to high-fidelity interactive prototypes ● since they can gain a better understanding of how the application should run and behave. A prototype can save both time and money for the company when building something that may not be ● successful on the market. Project management can make accurate estimates of how much time is needed for implementing and ● testing quality assurance based on the high-fidelity prototype.
Drawbacks of High Fidelity Prototypes As there are two sides to a coin, just noting the advantages of hi-fi prototypes and ● ignoring the drawbacks can also be harmful to your product. The following are two of the most challenging points about these. As it takes more time to change the designs, making quick fixes between the users ● during a usability test becomes harder. Prototypes produced with high fidelity require more resources and money than ● prototypes with low fidelity.
Conclusion Product fidelity is what matters the most. In addition to testing ideas and assumptions, prototyping can be used to gain a better understanding of your users or to help your design team narrow down the options. Getting to the success point requires hiring full-time developers with high-fidelity prototyping skills.
