Rapid Prototyping with Balsamiq et al

Page history last edited by Garo Yeriazarian 14 years, 1 month ago

Balsamiq: http://www.balsamiq.com/

- gui prototyping

- 80 bucks for desktop version

- web-enabled versions available

- updated almost weekly

- updates for life

- mock UML editing using the iPhone menu control

-- if someone at this session could upload some examples of this, I would be grateful! (see below)

- mockup UIs, then use annotations to describe actions

 

PowerPoint Prototyping

- http://www.istartedsomething.com/20071018/powerpoint-prototype-toolkit-01/

- Use hyperlinks to show a story in powerpoint

- familiar tool for stakeholders, can provide feedback

- most companies have paid for it already

 

Expression Blend + SketchFlow

- Building an interface that could eventually become executable code

- Compiles to a Silverlight executable that the stakeholders can mark up and send back

- More "futz factor" than Balsamiq (more structured)

- Larger investment for people

 

Balsamiq UML Example:

You can add nice arrows too for things that go together.  Rod Paddock was talking about how he was using it for these things.
