  Links, dynamic menus, and workflows are not shown and must be explained in user testing or documentation winded in words and pictures. Documentation of especially complex prototypes are to page-strong and confusing documents. This issue has been accepted the pidoco GmbH with seat in Berlin. With strong partners such as the high tech startup Fund in the background, the company has emerged from the (SAP) Hasso Plattner Institute and focuses on the development of prototyping and usability software for screen design. At the present time, the Berlin Software House offers a complete software suite for the user-centered design, which covers the entire process from prototyping to remote usability testing. “3 modules are the prototype creator”, which not only Web designers easily can create clickable wireframes via drag- and -drop, which are actually linked and i.w.S functionality have, to then with the prototype reviewer “feedback to these To be able to collect prototypes. Who need’s more precisely, can perform Tester (closed beta) via the Internet usability tests with test users through the remote usability and easily enter into the higher spheres of the usability testing.

  Rapid digital prototyping with the core application, the prototype creator can drag & drop from ready-made interface modules (E.g. dynamic menus, radio buttons, combo boxes, etc.) Websites and other interfaces are clicked together. Buttons, menus and texts can be linked without any programming, to get to a real image of the Web page to be developed. This interactivity allows complete workflows and simulate the click paths and give a clear impression of what should make the site to be developed later. By the way: so-called click areas existing static screenshots (E.g. from Photoshop) can be linked and via interactive, so that also here click tracks and processes easily and conveniently can be tested through. Review of the created prototypes no matter how the Prototype has been created, the prototypes for the evaluation of the expert can be published with the prototype reviewer.

  The reviewer allows other feedback donor (happy customers) directly through the wireframe tool to invite and to start a discussion on the prototypes. Invited experts and colleagues can click through the wireframes as a normal Internet page as provided, but with the annotation function provide feedback on processes, layout concept, and similar. The remote usability tester who still more clarity about the later acceptance of his Web site would like to have, the more in-depth usability tests are recommended. Presented here remote usability testing, test facilitator and subject via a shared screen and phone are connected. Actually work remote usability testing as well as classic usability tests on the spot. The test leader provides tasks that should solve this prototype in which the subjects. Runs the usability test over the Internet from (so remote), can the leader of the Follow all the steps of motion of the test candidates in the prototype shared screen and critical. Conclusion even if we have only the opportunity to give a brief, exemplary insight into new developments in the digital paper prototyping, but shows that the development in this area goes quickly forward. Eagerly, we expect further steps and new tools.
