Now as you know what you are going to test you can build your prototype. It needs to simulate the situations that can occur when the participants do the task you gave them. So at least you need to cover the possibilities to resolve the task and some sideways that don't lead to the task's solution. Otherwise the Participant will try to interact and your prototype will not be up to responding and "crashes". | Now as you know what you are going to test you can build your prototype.

I reccommand to build your prototype in paper. It may sound strange but it is easyly done, costs almost nothing and usually has good results. The basic pronciple is to mock up the Interface using paper and some other stuff thats probably in your office. | |||
The interaction is simulated by manually changing parts of the paper-Interface. E.g. You draw a dialogue box on paper and place it over the rest of the interface if the user triggers the action that shall make it appear. Or if a "link" is clicked you change all parts of the site that are supposed to be different from the old one. | |||
