Abstract

Prototyping in New Product Development (NPD) encompasses a broad selection of methods used to generate knowledge about a product or process. Whilst some methods focus on the creation of a prototype in its intended domain, others centre on its testing and evaluation, contributing to an understanding of the prototype’s performance against a set of design requirements or objective. Where prior works have explored the contributions to design knowledge afforded by methods of creation, methods used to evaluate prototypes lack a similar characterisation.
