Paper prototyping involves creating rough sketches of user interfaces on paper to test design ideas early in the development process. It allows representing screens and flows without coding to get quick feedback. Paper prototypes are effective for brainstorming, usability testing, and design exploration before committing to an implementation. While rough, paper prototypes provide a low-fidelity, low-cost way to evaluate designs and iterate before full development.

2. Paper Prototyping (by Devesh Jagatram) What is a Prototype? A working model created to demonstrate crucial aspects of a system without creating a fully detailed system. Adding details and content incrementally to advancing stages of prototypes is one process for creating successful systems. In Software Industry these refer to application systems and interfaces.

4. Paper Prototyping (by Devesh Jagatram) Paper Prototype In its broadest sense, paper prototyping can be considered a method of brainstorming, designing, creating, testing, and communicating user interfaces. Paper prototyping is a widely used method in the User Centered Design process, a process that helps developers to create a software that meets the user's expectations and needs—here especially for designing and testing user interfaces. It is a Throwaway Prototyping and involves creating rough, even hand sketched, drawings of an interface to use as prototypes, or models, of a design. -- wikipedia It is mostly used for Testing design ideas with users in early stages of design and is typically defined as: Paper prototyping is a variation of usability testing where representative users perform realistic tasks by interacting with a paper version of the interface that is manipulated by a person "playing computer," who doesn't explain how the interface is intended to work.
