Heuristic evaluation
A heuristic evaluation reviews an interface against usability principles to identify problems and prioritise improvements
What it means, how it is used and where it comes up, with its related concepts.
What it is and how it works
It is carried out by people who know the method and the context. It can detect inconsistencies, missing information or difficulties in recovering from errors. Its findings are expert judgements that should be complemented with usability testing and behavioural data.
