A qualitative assessment applications, including review past literature on was undertaken. expert evaluation or done Jakob Nielsen’s ten heuristics design guidelines. objective compare applications measuring usability against standard heuristics. goal any satisfaction. Through this interface evaluation, researchers have concluded designers could be considered during future development hypermedia-based tools.
