As UX researches, we hear a lot of gossip about testing in our day-to-day work, and we decided to turn them into comics! Does the first one sound familiar? If yes - sorry to hear that! 😅 Got a story where early testing saved the day? Or maybe a funny idea for our next comic? Drop it in the comments or email us at [email protected]!

Alright, let’s be real—why do so many UI/UX prototypes fall apart when it’s time to bring them to life? ⚙️ We asked our UI/UX Designer,Nick Kaloyeros and he explained it perfectly: “𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. Designers craft these stunning, ambitious concepts, but when they hand them off, engineers are like, ‘Uh, how are we supposed to build this?’ And that’s where the friction starts. It turns into a game of back-and-forth: designs get scaled back, features are simplified, and soon enough, the final product looks nothing like the original idea. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻? It’s usually because designers and devs aren’t talking enough from the start. Designers may not fully understand the technical constraints, and devs might not see the vision behind the design decisions. It’s no one’s fault—it’s just how things go when we work in silos.” 𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗸’𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝘅? “Get everyone in the same room (or on the same call) from 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦. Make it a habit to discuss what’s possible and what might be tricky before anyone’s too attached to a single idea. 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲? "Open communication can turn ‘We’ll have to cut that feature’ into ‘Here’s how we can make it work.’" And when we do that, everyone wins—designers get closer to their vision, and engineers don’t have to jump through hoops to make it happen. #Design #UX #Engineering #Collaboration #GameDev
