Clickable prototypes are - as their name implies - a "clickable" version of mockups where users can interact with the app design.
Clickable prototypes are the best representation of an app for usability testing as they encompass all aspects of the user experience, including interactivity.
Taking it a step further, designs can be coded into HTML to enhance the interactivity of the app for better test results.
We use Webflow, a no-code, enterprise-grade tool to design and auto-generate a live HTML prototype. Although Webflow was originally created to publish websites, it can also be used to prototype mobile apps using its responsive, screen-size canvas.
A low-code prototype is the closest representation of the actual app achievable. It is essentially the development of the app itselfusing low-code tools such as Outsystems to rapidly create a prototype.
Low-code prototypes allow designs to be tested with real data, if/else logic, and advanced interactivity.
