The web-based and real-time collaborative application allows for a fast and easy creation and modification of graphical user interface pro-totypes. These prototypes can immediately be tested with test users in order to discover problems as early as possible and to fix them even before any line of code is written. This not only saves money and time but also improves the management and the chance of success of development projects. Latest trends in web-based graphics editing (SVG) make RapidRabb.it a very performant solution for visualizing, testing, and optimizing software user interfaces online.
