Customizando heurísticas de usabilidade para celulares

Mobile phones have been the fastest growing segment of the technology market increasing the importance of interface design for this type of device. Yet, as many of the assumptions about user interactions that we know from "traditional" computer usage do not hold true for mobile devices, a key question is, if there exist specific usability heuristics for this type of device. To answer this question, we conduct a systematic literature review on usability heuristics for mobile (touch) phones and compare and map the identified heuristics. We also develop a checklist for heuristic evaluations based on the unified set of heuristics. The results are expected to contribute to the improvement of usability of cell phone applications considering their specific characteristics and limitations.
