The prototype should be evaluated by a <a href="/wiki/Focus_group" title="Focus group">focus group</a> or a group not associated with the product in order to deliver non-biased opinions.

This allows designers to identify any usability issues that may arise in the user interface before it is put into wide use. Even the best usability experts cannot design perfect user interfaces in a single attempt, so a usability engineering lifecycle should be built around the concept of iteration.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The typical steps of iterative design in user interfaces are as follows: </p> <ol><li>Complete an initial interface design</li> <li>Present the design to several test users</li> <li>Note any problems had by the test user</li> <li>Refine interface to account for/fix the problems</li> <li>Repeat steps 2-4 until user interface problems are resolved</li></ol> <p>Iterative design in user interfaces can be implemented in many ways. One common method of using iterative design in computer software is <a href="/wiki/Software_testing" title="Software testing">software testing</a>. While this includes testing the product for functionality outside of the user interface, important feedback on the interface can be gained from subject testing early versions of a program. This allows software companies to release a better quality product to the public, and prevents the need of product modification following its release. </p><p>Iterative design in online (website) interfaces is a more continual process, as website modification, after it has been released to the user, is far more viable than in software design. Often websites use their users as test subjects for interface design, making modifications based on recommendations from visitors to their sites. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Iterative_design_use">Iterative design use</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Iterative_design&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Iterative design use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Iterative design is a way of confronting the reality of unpredictable user needs and behaviors that can lead to sweeping and fundamental changes in a design. User testing will often show that even carefully evaluated ideas will be inadequate when confronted with a user test. Thus, it is important that the flexibility of the iterative design's implementation approach extends as far into the system as possible. Designers must further recognize that user testing results may suggest radical change that requires the designers to be prepared to completely abandon old ideas in favor of new ideas that are more equipped to suit user needs. Iterative design applies in many fields, from making knives to rockets. As an example consider the design of an <a href="/wiki/Electronic_circuit" title="Electronic circuit">electronic circuit</a> that must perform a certain task, and must ultimately fit in a small space on a <a href="/wiki/Circuit_board" class="mw-redirect" title="Circuit board">circuit board</a>. It is useful to split these independent tasks into two smaller and simpler tasks, the functionality task, and the space and weight task. A <a href="/wiki/Breadboard" title="Breadboard">breadboard</a> is a useful way of implementing the electronic circuit on an interim basis, without having to worry about space and weight. </p><p>Once the circuit works, improvements or incremental changes may be applied to the breadboard to increase or improve functionality over the original design. When the design is finalized, one can set about designing a proper circuit board meeting the space and weight criteria. Compacting the circuit on the circuit board requires that the wires and components be juggled around without changing their electrical characteristics. This juggling follows simpler rules than the design of the circuit itself, and is often <a href="/wiki/Place_and_route" title="Place and route">automated</a>. As far as possible <a href="/wiki/Commercial_off-the-shelf" title="Commercial off-the-shelf">off the shelf</a> components are used, but where necessary for space or performance reasons, custom made components may be developed. </p><p>Several instances of iterative design are as follows: </p> <ul><li><b>Wiki</b>: A <a href="/wiki/Wiki" title="Wiki">wiki</a> is a natural repository for iterative design. The 'Page History' facility allows tracking back to prior versions. Modifications are mostly incremental, and leave substantial parts of the text unchanged.</li> <li><b>Common law</b>: The principle of <a href="/wiki/Legal_precedent" class="mw-redirect" title="Legal precedent">legal precedent</a> builds on past experience.

It involves the task of constructing the highest possible free-standing structure with a marshmallow on top. The structure must be completed within 18 minutes using only 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, and one yard of string.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-bpwrap1_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bpwrap1-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Observation and studies of participants show that kindergartners are regularly able to build higher structures, in comparison to groups of business school graduates. This is explained by the tendency for children to at once stick the marshmallow on top of a simple structure, test the prototype, and continue to improve upon it. Whereas, business school students tend to spend time vying for power, planning, and finally producing a structure to which the marshmallow is added.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The challenge helps to build and develop prototyping, teamwork, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.experientiallearning.org/the-marshmallow-challenge-a-facilitative-approach/">leadership and innovation skills</a> and is a popular <a href="/wiki/Science,_technology,_engineering,_and_mathematics" title="Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics">STEM</a> activity.
