Rapid Abstract Prototyping
Larry L. Constantine · 2002
Abstract prototypes are an intermediate form that can speed the user interface design process and improve the quality of the results. Abstract prototypes help bridge the conceptual gap between a task model and a representational paper prototype for a user interface design. This short article introduces abstract prototypes in the form of simple content inventories and content navigation maps. An example illustrates the process of using abstract prototypes and suggests the possible advantages over other prototyping techniques.
