PROTOTYPING
First full prototype was tested by 6 users. It didn’t have a name yet and had the generic project title of Vela.
TESTING
After testing the first full prototype and making changes based on that, it came time for A/B testing. In A/B testing I was able to get user preferences of how to continue developing the app.
