Here's a comparison table:
| Feature | Evolutionary Prototyping | Throwaway Prototyping |
| Stages | Incremental development, iterative refinement. | Rapid creation, testing, and discarding. |
| Prototype Detail | Increasingly detailed, closer to the final product. | Low-fidelity, often conceptual. |
| User Feedback | Continuous feedback incorporated throughout development. | Focused on initial concept validation. |
| Intended Outcome | A fully functional product. | Design exploration and concept validation. |
Evolutionary prototyping is suitable when requirements are relatively well-defined, and there's a need for early user feedback to guide development. It's a more structured approach. Throwaway prototyping is best when exploring different design ideas and quickly testing concepts is crucial, especially when requirements are uncertain. It's a more flexible and experimental approach.
