Evaluation of interaction and user interface design is usually carried out by people specialized in usability and/or human factors. However, a common shortcoming for designers and evaluators is limited knowledge about how the systems are used in their context. Usability evaluation with heuristics is a common and rather fast method with which many important design issues and flaws can be discovered. However, it can be challenging to apply in domain-specific systems for non-domain experts. A study was therefore performed to evaluate how end users who are domain experts can be engaged to perform a heuristic evaluation on their main system of use. After being introduced to usability theory, design principles and the method of heuristic evaluation, the end users evaluated their system according to 17 selected usability heuristics. Their evaluation was part of a range of other usability assessments of the system. The results showed that the method is promising and the feedback from the end users was positive. It was also found that there is a need for additional training and more time for the evaluation. In future work, the evaluation method will be modified according to lessons learned and applied in other domain-specific systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
