A pattern-based usability inspection method: first empirical performance measures and future issues
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Usability Pattern Inspection (UPI) is a new usability inspection method designed for the added downstream utility of producing concrete design recommendations. This paper provides first empirical evidence that UPI measures up to the established inspection method Heuristic Evaluation (HE) regarding defect identification. It is shown that there is also some potential for synergy between UPI and HE. The further research plan of measuring UPI is presented.

Perspective-based Usability Inspection: An Empirical Validation of E cacy
Inspection is a fundamental means of achieving software usability. Past research showed that the current usability inspection techniques were rather ine ective. We developed perspective-based usability inspection, which divides the large variety of usability issues along di erent perspectives and focuses each inspection session on one perspective. We conducted a controlled experiment to study i...

متن کاملHeuristic evaluation of virtual reality applications
This paper presents a heuristic method for evaluating virtual environment (VE) user interfaces. The method is based on Nielsen’s [Usability Inspection Methods, 1994] usability heuristics, extended by VE-specific principles proposed by Sutcliffe and Kaur [Behaviour and Information Technology 19 (2000) 415–426]. Twelve heuristics are presented which address usability and presence issues. An inspe...
متن کاملOn the Advantages of a Systematic Inspection for Evaluating Hypermedia Usability
It is indubitable that usability inspection of complex hypermedia is still an "art", in the sense that a great deal is left to the skills, experience, and ability of the inspectors. Training inspectors is difficult and often quite expensive. The SUE inspection technique has been proposed to help usability inspectors share and transfer their evaluation know-how, to simplify the hypermedia inspec...
متن کاملGuiding Usability Evaluators During Hypermedia Inspection
This paper presents an empirical validation of the Abstract Tasks (ATs), which are operational guidelines driving the inspection activities during a usability evaluation. Two groups of inspectors evaluated a multimedia CD-ROM, one group using the ATs, the other group using a list of heuristics. Results demonstrated a better performance of the AT group but raised some issues concerning the accep...
