How Does High-Fidelity Prototyping Differ From Evolutionary Prototyping? What Weaknesses Are Introduced To A Product’S

How does high-fidelity prototyping differ from evolutionary prototyping? What weaknesses are introduced to a product’s success as a result of integrating a set of high-fidelity prototypes to make a final product? Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts
Class mates post below 12 hours ago Eva Gaivoronski RE: Week 6 Discussion Hello Class, High-Fidelity Prototyping Generally computer-based and allows realistic interactions
This prototype is as close to the final product as the team can create and is much more effective at collecting true performance data from human or user input
This prototype is also generally used as the demonstration version to clients or internal stakeholders

) Evolutionary Prototyping This approach initially breaks the system into independent modules with their functionality
In an iterative process, testers demonstrate each component to a test group until a final version is decided based on user feedback
Like the biological process of evolution, this prototyping approach moves through a series of refinements until the best version has evolved

) Weakness of the High-Fidelity Approach The greatest challenge to the high-fidelity approach for most teams is the cost and time associated with the process
Due to the complete model approach for testing, the building process is long, and any changes require extensive retooling time
The second biggest weakness that this approach is associated with is the system as a whole is susceptible to a single issue
Since the system is delivered in an almost final form, making changes to one piece can have very adverse effects on another including complete system failure
Often, the designers and programmers of the system have difficulty accepting change suggestions as they have already created something that, in their mind, is very close to complete
Lastly, from a test point of view, the system’s aesthetics often supersede the functionality considerations, and functionality is lessened
