OUR SERVICES

1. Proof-of-Concept Prototypes

You can test feasibility and viability of a specific concept or technology. We can help you in building functional Proof-of-Concept (PoC) prototype. These prototypes are build with the main objective of demonstrating the feasibility and viability of a specific concept or technology. Focus is on the key features or components related to the concept you're exploring.

Proof of Concept Prototypes

List of activities we follow to develop Proof-of-Concept prototypes:

  • Defining clear objectives of the concept and its success criteria
  • Functional and technical requirement of the prototypes specification
  • high-level design or architecture that outlines how the concept will be implemented
  • Technology, framework and tools selection
  • Prototyping development focusing on the core features and validity demonstration.
  • Iterative development for refining and adjusting the implementation based on technical challenges and insights gained during development.
  • Testing and Validation of the PoC prototype as per the Functional and technical requirement definition
  • Feedback from stakeholders and potential users to evaluate usability issues and areas for improvement
  • Refining the PoC prototype based on the input from the stakeholders, decision-makers, and technical teams.
  • Documentation of the changes, challenges faced and lessons learned during the development of the PoC prototype for future projects and innovations.

2. User Interface (UI) Prototypes:

You can test user experience visualization for early design feedback. Metwaves team can build a User User Interface (UI) Prototype which will basically be visual representation of how the user interface of a software application will look and behave. Focus is given on the - Layout, Navigation, Interaction and visual elements. End product will be the prototype that helps our client with the tangible preview of the final product's user experience.

User Interface Prototypes

List of activities we follow to develop User Interface (UI) Prototype

  • Defining goals and target audience of the project
  • Understanding and documenting all the key functional requirements and interactions that needs to showcased in the UI prototype
  • Research and analysis process to consider various options to layout the user interactions.
  • Branding guidelines and industry best practices are considered
  • Initially rough sketches using paper or digital tools can be used for concept visualization
  • Gather feedback and review on the initial sketches with stakeholders to ensure the both sides are aligned with the initial goal requirements
  • Refine the sketches as per the reviews and move ahead with the visuals development
  • Low-fidelity wireframes will be developed for complex interactions, to outline the structure and placement of interface elements (buttons, forms, menus, etc.).
  • Visual designing of the prototype which will include: branding elements, typography, color schemes, and graphics of each page and functionality, how end user will interaction with the screen including hover effects, button states, transitions, and animations.
  • Share the visual prototype with stakeholders including clients, designers, and developers, to gather feedback.
  • Iterate on the visuals designs and interactions as per the reviews
  • Usability Testing with user groups to to validate the design's usability and identify potential issues.
  • Refinement of UI prototype for final launch of the UI prototype to Ensure that the prototype accurately represents the desired user experience and aligns with project goals
  • Documentation of the design process and feedback received for future design iterations or reference during development.

Rapid software prototyping is an iterative approach to software development where quick, simplified versions of the software are built and tested. It differs from traditional methods by focusing on rapid feedback, allowing for quicker validation of requirements and faster iteration, ultimately leading to reduced time-to-market and increased flexibility in accommodating changes.

In a prototype, you can expect varying levels of functionality. It might range from a basic simulation demonstrating key features to a partially functional version showcasing specific functionalities. Rarely will it be fully functional like the final product, as the main goal is to validate concepts and gather feedback efficiently.

We ensure the prototype accurately represents your vision through frequent communication, regular feedback sessions, and iterative refinement. By closely involving you in the process and incorporating your feedback at every stage, we strive to align the prototype closely with your expectations for the final product.

After the prototype is developed and approved, it typically transitions into full-scale development through a structured process. This often involves further refinement of requirements based on feedback, detailed planning of development tasks, and allocation of resources. The prototype serves as a blueprint, guiding the development team in building the final product iteratively.

The transition may involve additional phases such as architecture design, coding, testing, and deployment, with ongoing collaboration between stakeholders to ensure alignment with project goals and objectives.

During the prototyping phase, we have a structured approach to handling feedback and revisions. This typically involves regular feedback sessions where stakeholders provide input on the prototype's features, usability, and alignment with requirements. We document all feedback systematically, prioritize revisions based on their impact and feasibility, and incorporate them into subsequent iterations of the prototype

Yes, we can accommodate changes to the prototype even after development has begun. We understand that requirements may evolve as the project progresses or new insights are gained. Our iterative approach allows for flexibility, enabling us to incorporate changes efficiently without derailing the development process. We assess the impact of each change on the project timeline, budget, and scope, and work closely with you to prioritize and implement revisions effectively.

During the prototyping process, we typically expect active involvement from your end, especially during key stages such as requirement gathering, feedback sessions, and validation. Your input is crucial for ensuring that the prototype aligns with your vision and requirements for the final product. We may require your participation in providing feedback, clarifying requirements, prioritizing features, and making decisions on design and functionality.

We take intellectual property rights and confidentiality seriously throughout the prototyping process. To safeguard your intellectual property, we typically establish clear agreements, such as non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), that outline confidentiality obligations for both parties.

We employ secure communication channels and restrict access to prototype-related discussions and materials to authorized personnel only. Furthermore, we ensure that ownership of intellectual property rights is clearly defined in our contractual agreements, providing you with the necessary protections for your proprietary information and innovations.

Yes, a software prototyping service can indeed help you identify potential scalability issues. During the prototyping phase, the focus is not only on developing and validating features but also on assessing the scalability of the solution. By building a simplified version of the software and subjecting it to various scenarios and stress tests, prototyping can reveal performance bottlenecks and scalability challenges early in the development process.

This allows for proactive mitigation strategies to be implemented, such as optimizing database queries, improving code efficiency, or designing for horizontal scalability

No, that would not be true. While startups often benefit greatly from prototyping services due to their need to quickly validate ideas and secure funding, prototyping is valuable for businesses of all sizes and stages of development.

Large enterprises may use prototyping to explore new product ideas, test user interfaces, or validate complex features before committing resources to full-scale development. Similarly, established businesses may use prototyping to modernize legacy systems, streamline processes, or experiment with new technologies.
