Heuristic Evaluation Method

Heuristic evaluation is a method of usability testing in which a small set of evaluators use predefined heuristics, or principles, to review a user interface and identify usability issues.

The goal of a heuristic evaluation is to identify as many usability problems as possible so that they can be addressed.

The method is typically used early in the design process, before user testing is conducted.

Heuristic evaluations are fast, relatively inexpensive, and can be conducted by a small team of experts, making them a popular method for identifying usability issues in early design stages.
