Heuristic Evaluation Method: A Proposed Workflow

Alireza Nikookar, Sharareh Jahanshah, and Sanaz Tavakkol

Abstract—In this paper, we proposed an optimized workflow for Heuristic Evaluation (HE) process. This workflow allows experts in usability engineering (especially in the field of user interface design) to apply Heuristic Evaluation method and use all of its advantages in a shorter time and more reliable way. The proposed workflow divides Heuristic Evaluation into 9steps that cover whole process. It also specifies roles involved in each step in addition to artifacts generated as outputs and how all elements link to each other. One of the most important advantages of this workflow is that all the connections and inter-connections between steps, roles and artifacts are well defined. As a result, we applied our proposed workflow in the process of developing the latest version of our software, which brought us better final results and fewer problems during running of the method.

Index Terms—HCI, heuristic evaluation, usability engineering, workflow.
