iterative design

in ergonomics, the practice of using results from prior testing or formative evaluation to make design changes during the development cycle of a new or improved product. The process of iteration continuously feeds previous results into the next design of the product, which is tested or evaluated in its turn, leading to further design changes, and so on.
