Cons of Heuristic Evaluation
1. Constraints
Time and money are 2 major constraints that can make up for taking a step back from carrying out multiple rounds of heuristic evaluation. For an early-stage startup, it would be difficult to invest money but at the same, it is of utmost crucial to get things fixed as early as possible.
2. Difficult to find “Experts”
There is a limited chunk of good subject matter experts when it comes to design, usability testing, and research. Getting the right person to help through the process is difficult to find.
3. Pseudo-Positive
Most cases of heuristic evaluation do wonders, but in a few cases, it can backfire as well. Heuristic-based issues that are detected may not always result in a poor user experience. It is good to know that everything worked but depends upon how the evaluation is carried out. Experienced and skilled folks would tend to help better.
Top Heuristic Principles with Examples For Interactive Designs
Only designing interfaces is not the end, as a designer, you must have a solid understanding of how to measure it for your own designs. How do you determine whether your goods are genuinely usable? Once the designs are ready, to run a usability test heuristics principles come into the picture, using which we carry out the heuristic evaluation. Though usability is a vast field and includes a lot more than just heuristic evaluation, it is an essential practice.
In this article, we would be looking into some very important heuristics to evaluate whether the design you have created is usable or not.
