One. Comparison of three kinds of prototype tools
Before compile the code, prototyping tools can help programmers to solve design issues. Prototype design has been integral in the vast majority of product phase. After collecting and collating relevant information ideas, data, information, needs assessment, designers often need these abstract thinking in a specific way prototype presented. Prototyping is proposed user needs Tigong one of the most intuitive way to understand the ideas and creativity of the designer. But also to ensure the fastest and most accurate access to relevant product information feedback from users.
Currently the number of mainstream prototyping tool for many, according to course requirements, we select one of three types: blade, Axure RP, Mockplus function and practicality of a simple comparison.
\ 1 blade - Quick Start
Blade is a domestic prototype design collaboration tool, compared to Axure RP is very easy to learn. Many built-in components to create the page jump also much simpler than Axure. Because it is an online tool that can save the clouds work, which is particularly convenient. In addition, by sharing the link you can share a prototype for others to see.
\ 2. Axure RP-- fully functional
Axure: As a veteran of the prototype drawing something, it features the most complete, the most diverse interaction, the foundation of any desired result can be achieved, especially in the construction of an advantage on the PC prototype drawing. Suitable for low-fidelity prototype to fidelity. However, because a lot of functions, but also let them learn a little more difficult.
\ 3. Mockplus-- quickly build
Mockplus committed to rapidly build and prototype iterations, designers provide design simple and efficient way to create the optimal design results in the shortest time.
Quick design: it has more than 200 highly interactive components of the package, 3000 vector icons, and a large number of templates available for immediate use, as well as examples of project templates page, for quick prototyping.
Quick Interaction: choice Mockplus or interaction design. Just visible interacting components using the package, to complete the dragging with the mouse visual interaction, without any line of code or set of parameters.
Quick Demo: Mockplus has eight kinds of rapid testing and demonstration, support prototype test phone side, the browser and the desktop side.
two. Project needs analysis
Select the first item of this job as a subject, and the subject described requirements are as follows:
(1) community management project requirements are as follows:
In the end the students can move easily understand and join associations, community reading the article, fill out the questionnaire activities, within the letter sent station.
Social-linked web client can easily apply for activities and venues, star ratings, material and other charges.
Community management community members can manage the page end, community members can also be managed at the mobile terminal.
Students and administrators for the general community, a collection of information about each community, is active browsing features and registration, as well as publishing activities, audit and inform, but also has added to the community, within the letter transmitting station and other functions.
Project background and need to solve the pain points:
Lack of understanding of the community's long-term, convenient channel when students just Ru Xinan University of Petroleum;
No public associations scattered throughout the article;
The group made the event registration questionnaire easy to water in the past, but each time to fill in the information are similar;
Community administrators in the management of the members do not have a good tool to publish events, statistics registration staff to notify changes and other activities;
Social Union in the management of all societies, the audit activity application, review the application space, star ratings, there are some difficulties in terms of material and other charges.
Therefore, we hope to build a software to connect students, community and society together, according to different user needs, we plan to show the community, event registration and other functions on the phone applet end, put most of the functions of community management in the web client.
Project-oriented user:
Applet: mainly for Southwest Petroleum University students, community management functions, the president and other community-oriented administrators.
Web client: The main president for community and other administrators, but also for the community linked.
Construction of a simple structure is as follows:
Web management end to end is simple structure is as follows:
Small end uses simple structure is as follows:
(2) prototype
Because the job requirements prototyping express links, and blade easy to use, and thus use this assignment blade prototyping
Web page management structure:
Small micro-channel structure of FIG end uses:
Web links end prototyping: https://free.modao.cc/app/preview/p9d516f562c79a0b9bf2386c7
Applet prototyping link: https://free.modao.cc/app/design/pa9c8a65a8dceabf8240fb1b6
three. Harvest sentiment
Through this work for had never come into contact with prototyping we have made a preliminary understanding, and realized the need for prototyping and analysis contained important point for a software development process. Make full use of prototyping can be designed in advance a model customer needs, more intuitive to show the function and structure, reducing the possibility of error, and thus the potential cost savings.
