Multiple choice

What are the key stages of the iterative design process?

  1. Prototyping, testing, analysis, and refinement.

  2. Ideation, prototyping, testing, and implementation.

  3. Requirements gathering, design, implementation, and testing.

  4. Planning, design, development, and deployment.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The key stages of the iterative design process are prototyping, testing, analysis, and refinement. In the prototyping stage, a prototype of the product or service is created. In the testing stage, the prototype is tested with users and stakeholders to gather feedback. In the analysis stage, the feedback is analyzed to identify areas for improvement. In the refinement stage, the product or service is refined based on the feedback.

Multiple choice
