Abstract

In this chapter, we present the version 0.2 of Probatio and its evolution from version 0.1. Besides, we discuss the quantitative and qualitative results of an experiment comparing the functional prototyping toolkit and a generic sensor toolkit. The results show that Probatio helped to reduce the assembly time of the prototypes resulting in more cycles of idea exploration and validation. We discuss three user profiles that emerged from the qualitative analysis: the builder, the virtuoso, and the experimentalists. Finally, we conclude that Probatio is more suitable for experimentalists because of its rapid way of achieving musical results.
