Question

Are prototypes wireframes and mockups the same. state true or false with suitable example

Answer 1

"Confusing wireframes with prototypes is like assuming an architectural blueprint and a display house, are the same thing." ... Unlike a wireframe,a mockup looks more like a finished product or prototype, but it is not interactive and not clickable. It is rather a graphic representation.

Answer 2

It is false, Wireframes, Mockups and Prototypes are not same.

Wireframe is a way to present outline structures and layouts. There is no need to pay attention to the minute details in a wireframe but it gives a rough and basic idea to the team of how the plan or the idea will look like.

Mockup is more of a finished product or a prototype as compared to the wire frame but it is not interactive or clickable. It is a kind of a high fidelity static design diagram and is a graphical representation of the actual product.

Prototype is the closest that a design team can get to the finished product before its completion and it is user interactive and the user interaction can be tested by presentation of the prototype. it looks very similar to the finished product and rather than being a graphic demonstration it is a user interactive design.
