“…However, only Chuan et al (2015) partially targeted gestures in general. Due to the importance of multi-touch gestures in current mobile apps, we defined a set of 15 heuristics, partly taken and modified from previously proposed heuristics.…”

“…Fatigue (Chuan, 2015): Due to involvement of hands, users may get tired after a long usage. Therefore, the system should use as precise multitouch gestures as it could be rather than making them unnecessary longer (e.g., where tap can work then there is no need for double tap).…”

“…Some examples for these sets are: Po et al (2004) proposed two lightweight variants of heuristics: heuristic walkthrough that combines heuristics with scenario of use, and contextual walkthrough that involves conducting heuristics in the field; Bertini et al (2006) proposed a set of heuristics for capturing mobile contextual requirements; Korhonen and Koivisto (2006) proposed a set of 11 playability heuristics for evaluating mobile games; Neto and Pimentel (2013) proposed a list of 11 heuristics by extending Nielsen heuristics for the usability evaluation of mobile user interfaces; Inostroza et al (2013) proposed 12 usability lists for touchscreen-based mobile devices; Chuan et al (2015) targeted heuristics for gestures interaction in general; while Joyce and Lilley (2014) proposed a list of 11 heuristics for smartphone mobile apps.…”

Multi-touch gesture interaction is one of the main features that differentiate the current smart mobile era from the desktop-computing era. Heuristic evaluation is a popular usability evaluation method, mainly due to being less time-consuming, more cost effective, and applicable to different stages of the design and development phases. Researchers have provided their own sets of heuristics targeting domain specific mobile applications or some specific features (e.g., contextual behaviour). In this work, we specifically target evaluating multi-touch gestures in mobile apps through a set of 15 heuristics, which we selected after analysing previously proposed sets of heuristics. However, we adjusted these selected heuristics to make them appropriate for evaluating multi-touch gestures. We conducted a preliminary study with five evaluators in which they were able to find out more usability problems related to multi-touch gestures in the used mobile app compared to a previously proposed heuristics set for mobile apps.

“…This set was further tested using UE [5], while comparing results with Nielsen and Bertini et al sets of heuristics. Chuan et al [40] developed usability heuristics for gestures interaction evaluation using smartphone. While Humayoun et al [14] also proposed specific heuristics for evaluating multi-touch gestures in mobile applications.…”

Emerging development trends in smartphone computing assist the user to enhance skills, health improvement, earning opportunities, sharing ideas, providing entertainment, and so on. Appropriate transfer of these assistances demands a vibrant appearance to a smartphone user. End users emphasize easy-to-use, ergonomics, efficiency, and visual aesthetic, among others. Measuring usability issues allows for improving these features. An inspection-based heuristics set identifies the usability issues for improving the quality of smartphone interfaces. Using suitable heuristics is highly relevant. In this paper, we present an extended and relevant set of 14 Usability Heuristics for Smartphone (EUHSA) application, where 13 heuristics were selected after cross-linking the identified usability flaws with the previously proposed heuristics through a user study with 800 students from a human-computer interaction course. An additional heuristic is proposed against uncaptured usability flaws. Furthermore, the EUHSA was validated using an expert evaluation study. Findings were compared with the previously proposed Joyce and SMASH sets of heuristics. The results explicitly justify the EUHSA and prove its effectiveness in evaluating the usability issues.INDEX TERMS Human-computer interaction, usability experts, smartphone applications, heuristic evaluation, user interfaces.
