Which practice provides benefits such as identifying design problems early, obtaining meaningful feedback, and saving time and money?

• A. Increases Server Capacity
• B. Wastes Time
• C. Identifies design problems early, gains feedback, and saves time and money
• D. Improves Color Palette

Answer: (C)

Early validation through usability testing and iterative design reviews helps catch problems when fixes are cheapest, while collecting real-user feedback to guide improvements. This approach directly leads to identifying design issues early, obtaining meaningful input from users, and reducing rework, which saves time and money in the long run. The described practice fits that mindset—focusing on how users interact with the design to improve it early—whereas simply increasing server capacity, wasting time, or only refining the color palette don’t inherently deliver those combined benefits.
