==Prototyping==

In the [[Prototypingprototyping]] stage, engineers create actual working samples of the product they plan to produce. Engineering Verificationverification Testingtesting (EVT) <!-- see talk page --> is used on prototypes to verify that the design meets pre-determined specifications and design goals. This valuable information is used to validate the design as is, or identify areas that need to be modified.

==Design Verificationverification Testtest==

Design Verificationverification Testtest (DVT) is an intensive testing program which is performed to deliver objective, comprehensive testing verifying all product specifications, interface standards, OEM requirements, and diagnostic commands. It consists of five <!-- the list shows ten --> areas of testing:

* Functional Testingtesting (including usability)

* Performance Testingtesting

* Climatic Testingtesting

* Reliability Testingtesting

* Environmental test

* Mechanical test

* MTBF prediction

* Compliance and Regulatoryregulatory Testingtesting

* EMC test and certification

* Safety certification

==Design refinement==

After prototyping, the product is moved to the next phase of the design cycle: Design[[iterative Refinementdesign|design refinement]]. Engineers revise and improve the design to meet performance and design requirements and specifications.
