Heuristic Evaluation
Introduction
Heuristic evaluation is…….( Some generic information about the process here – referenced!!)
This report provides the results of a heuristic evaluation of a paper prototype by XXXX of Y team. The paper prototype is for an application called “XY” which is designed to “ outline what the app is supposed to do’ [See appendix 1 for photos of the prototype parts provided for this evaluation, and a video of how this prototype works, provided by XXXX of y team]
This report will initially …. Explain what is in the report
Procedure
To evaluate the prototype, the Y team has outlined the use of the following heuristics: [List the heuristics provided by your team here],
As part of the evaluation, I am asking my peer to perform the following tasks: [Outline the tasks and explain the steps you will take to perform the heuristic evaluation]

3, etc
Videos of the prototype I want to have evaluated and the briefing I gave are here:
· Prototype walkthrough: Put the video of your walkthrough here
· Prototype facilitation: Put a video of your facilitation of your peer’s evaluation
Results of Expert Review

The expert review on the paper prototype resulted in the following findings: -

Description of Problem(s): · EG No time status on the processing screen. E.g. doesn’t inform the user the percentage/ time left of the processing. (SR – 2) · |
|||
|
|
User Impact (explanation how the problem will impact on users) · EG Slow users down as the users will become impatient when they have to wait without knowing the time status of the process |
|||
|
|
Ways to Rectify: · Use a progress indicator e.g. percentage or time status · Provide an appropriate feedback about what the system is doing. E.g. instead of ‘Processing’ use ‘Processing rescheduled lunch’ · Use percentage indictor for zoom in and zoom out. |

|
|
Answers to Questions: HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO THE HEURISTIC ASPECT BEING EVALUATED · Users want to have time status visible without interrupting their other work |
Reflection on HE process
Refer to assessment task
For the research section of the assessment there is as per previous submissions 20% each for
1. Theory: What sort of prototype are you making and what does this contribute to your design
2. Practical: What sort of tests will justify your assumptions about your design, maybe consider future tests with different hardware set up if relevant to your domain
