A study on user centered game evaluation guideline based on the mipa framework

Abstract

The purpose of this experiment was to identify the relative benefits of the usability checklist and to investigate how the identified usability problems varied by groups. From our experience, there are no structured game frameworks for user interface design. This is why evaluation methods are important in the game development process. The MIPA framework can perform efficient evaluations and correctly identify as many usability defects as possible. Also, accurate evaluations earlier in the design phase can save money and time. Therefore the result is an effective task-oriented usability evaluation checklist that is easy to learn and apply for not only experts but also non experts. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
