What is prototype?Show answer
The most promising ideas are turned into rough, quick prototypes - sketches, paper models, mock-ups - cheap enough to change or throw away. Prototyping makes an idea tangible so it can be examined and tested, revealing problems that are invisible on paper.
What is test?Show answer
Prototypes are tested with real users to see what works and what does not. The feedback is the point: it tells the designer what to keep, change or rethink. Testing often sends the designer back to an earlier stage, which is exactly how the design improves.
