Finding usability problems through heuristic evaluation
CHI '92: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Usability specialists were better than non-specialists at performing heuristic evaluation, and “double experts” with specific expertise in the kind of interface being evaluated performed even better. Major usability problems have a higher probability ...
Number of people required for usability evaluation: the 10±2 rule

Introduction

Usability evaluation is essential to make sure that software products newly released are easy to use, efficient, and effective to reach goals, and satisfactory to users. For example, when a software company wants to develop and sell a new ...
Predictive usability evaluation: aligning HCI and software engineering practices
IHM '14: Proceedings of the 26th Conference on l'Interaction Homme-Machine

Can we - software developers, usability experts, user interface designers - predict usability from the early user interface (UI) design artifacts and models? Can we define predictive measures to evaluate usability without a concrete UI? These questions ...
