Usability evaluation with heuristics. New proposal from integrating two trusted sources

Abstract

The work presented here is born of the huge interest in usability, to be more precise, from the interest in evaluating this aspect in user interfaces. And, to be even more precise, from a substantial experience using one of the most used usability evaluation techniques, the Heuristic Evaluation. After reasoning about the use of this technique, a substantial improvement is on development and here first stage is presented. In this work we will see a new list of principles for evaluating user interfaces of any interactive system. The reader will see how the list has been achieved and also a set of specific questions to be answered when analyzing every principle.
