Don’t miss our recent article on prototypes “Testing your key assumptions” in Embedded Computing Design.
Prototypes are an important part of the hardware development process. At the simplest level, a prototype is an initial or preliminary model of the product. You build a prototype to test key assumptions that you have about the product. Prototypes can be used to test feasibility risks and to test desirability. You can put a prototype in a customer’s hands to answer questions that you might have about how well the product satisfies your market requirements.
