Usability Specific Heuristics for Parallel and Distributed Aplications
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The usability of the applications based on new technologies arises new issues. New evaluation methods or at least classical methods adapted to the new real case requirements have to be defined and developed. One of the most known usability evaluation method is the heuristic one. Many authors have proposed specific set of usability heuritics for particular applications. Nevertheless, new formalisms, methodologies, and documentations have to be developed and adapted to various cases. This paper proposes and experiments a methodology to support the development of new usability heuristics for the parallel and distributed applications. The paper exemplifies the using of the methodology to develop usability heuristics for the grid computing applications.
