\"Design
\nCreative problem-solving results in innovative products that improve people\u2019s lives and experiences. The\u00a0<\/span>Hasso-Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford (d.school)<\/span><\/a> proposed a model for this, which can be broken down into 5 key stages – Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. In our blog series on <\/span>these 5 stages of Design Thinking<\/span><\/a>, we cover each one individually. So far, we\u2019ve looked at:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Empathizing with your user<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Defining your user\u2019s problem<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Ideating on a solution<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Creating a prototype<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Here, we will look at the testing stage.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    These five design thinking stages \u2013 Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test \u2013 do not always happen in this order. At various points in the design process, you may need to return to any one of these stages. We think of them as components that can be reassembled to create a process that works for you and helps you create an effective end product to solve your user\u2019s problem. The \u2018Testing\u2019 stage is one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

    How do prepare for testing?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

    Once you are ready to introduce your prototype to your users, here are some steps to follow:<\/span><\/p>\n
