Test (Expanding)
Testing means bringing the idea, the solution generated through the design process into action in order to get feedback on which to build on. Feedback from other persons, from experts, from novices, from users, everyone involved in the problem context. Through testing a lot of information is gathered, in that it is similar to the observe and understand phase. However, this information is focused on the solution, and shows how well the problem has been understood. It is important to be able to communicate the idea you want to get feedback on, and to capture and interpret that feedback in order to refine your idea.
