Development of Usability Heuristics. Case Study: Grid Computing Applications
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The usability of applications based on new technologies brings new challenges. There is a need for new usability evaluation methods or (at least) traditional methods should be adapted to the new environments/requirements. Heuristic evaluation is a well known and widely used usability inspection method. Specific usability heuristics, suitable for specific applications, were proposed by many authors; however, the heuristics development process is poorly documented. The paper proposes a methodology to develop new usability heuristics. The methodology is applied in order to develop usability heuristics for Grid Computing applications.
