| 1 | **Description:** Concept test is low cost and quick process in which high-level concept(s) is tested with real end-users via different methods such as interviews and surveys. In order to conduct concept test, preliminary concept description must exist in written or visual format, which is then communicated to the real end-users or experts. The main aim is to collect feedback for the initial concept proposal and its possible variations. Concept test can also include a feasibility study, which also covers technical, economic, legal, operational and scheduling issues relating the proposed concept. In all, concept-testing phase verifies if a concept has market interest, while feasibility study shows if the product or service based on concept can be developed. Collected feedback includes also improvement suggestions. | ||
