Poster #4: Contextualising Heuristic Evaluation to improve website appraisal

This poster discusses the findings of a study using an extended Heuristic Evaluation framework to evaluate websites. The results of the study reveal that Heuristic Evaluation can benefit from the addition of a contextualised layer, called a ‘usability problems profile’, being incorporated into its framework. This is because we found a ‘usability problems profile’ helps focus the evaluators in their website appraisals and, hence, results in more reliable findings across evaluators.
