ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Paper prototyping

Paper prototyping is a way of testing a design or product to see if it works the way it's supposed to. It's like playing a make believe game with paper. You draw your idea on paper, like a website, game, or app, then you pretend to use it as if it were real, like you would with a real product. You might draw buttons and move them around to see how they feel, or draw check boxes to test if they work the way you want them to. It’s an easy and quick way to test your ideas and make sure they work the way you want them to.
