Prototype
A prototype can be anything that a user can interact with – be it a wall of post-it notes, a gadget you put together, a role-playing activity, or even a storyboard. Ideally you bias toward something a user can experience.
Build with the user in mind. What do you hope to test with the user? What sorts of behavior do you expect? Answering these questions will help focus your prototyping and help you receive meaningful feedback in the testing phase.

Test
- To refine prototypes and solutions. Testing informs the next iterations of prototypes. Sometimes this means going back to the drawing board.
- To learn more about your user. Testing is another opportunity to build empathy through observation and engagement—it often yields unexpected insights.
- To refine your POV. Sometimes testing reveals that not only did you not get the solution right, but also that you failed to frame the problem correctly

Wrapping Up...
We would like to stay connected with you to communicate about our successes...and most importantly our failures?
