“…More recently, Usability Inspection Methods (Nielsen and Mack 1994), have focused on improving the design of an interactive system by predicting potential usability problems with a system, for example, heuristic evaluation (Nielsen 1992, Nielsen and Molich 1990, cognitive walkthrough , Polson et al 1992, Wharton et al 1994) and ergonomic criteria (Bastien and Scapin 1995).…”

Recent HCI research has produced analytic evaluation techniques which claim to predict potential usability problems for an interactive system. Validation of these methods has involved matching predicted problems against usability problems found during empirical user testing. This paper shows that the matching of predicted and actual problems requires careful attention, and that current approaches lack rigour or generality. Requirements for more rigorous and general matching procedures are presented. A solution to one key requirement is presented: a new report structure for usability problems. It is designed to improve the quality of matches made between usability problems found during empirical user testing and problems predicted by analytic methods. The use of this report format is placed within its design research context, an ongoing project on domain-speci® c methods for software visualizations.

“…[6]. In this paper, we focus on heuristic evaluation by the Ergonomic Criteria [7]. The ergonomic criteria act as a guide to design and evaluate the user interface, and each criterion consists of a definition, a rationale, examples and some comments to avoid ambiguity [8].…”

Abstract. Nowadays, there are many different mobile apps designed to help people start and continue practicing physical activities. This paper aims to analyze the usability of the most used apps for walk through inspection methods, focusing especially on the core tasks available. This paper presents the problems found and the comparison between the five analyzed apps. Through the results, the goal of this study is identifying the usability problems to help improving user interaction with physical activity monitoring apps.

“…Por ejemplo las propuestas de McCall, Richards y Walters (1977); Boehm et al (1978), Dromey (1996); otras sobre la calidad de la interacción con el usuario a través de la consideración de factores humanos (Norman, 2002), criterios ergonómicos (Bastien;Scapin, 1995) o conceptos como el de la usabilidad (Nielsen, 1993;ISO 9241-11:1998;ISO/IEC 9126-1:2001). En muchos casos este concepto se ha usado para hacer referencia a la facilidad de uso de un sistema, pero ni esa era la única característica que aportaba ni su caracterización puede decirse en la actualidad que esté totalmente cerrada.…”
