PCB prototyping is done after the schematic has been worked out and before PCB fabrication. It is useful for testing and evaluating the design and layout and is quick and economical for producing one-offs.[1] There are a number of methods to choose from:
- Solderless breadboard aka plugboard
- Wirewrap
- Matrix board or perfboard
- Stripboard aka Veroboard
- Ground plane aka Rat's nest
- Dead bug
- PCB etching
