摘要: Usability inspection methods (UIMs) remain an important discount method for usability evaluation. They can be applied to any designed artefact during development: a paper prototype, storyboard, working prototype (e.g., in Macromedia Flash™ or Microsoft PowerPoint™), tested production software, installed public release. are analytical evaluation methods, which involve no typical end users, unlike empirical such as user testing. UIMs only require availability of and trained analysts. Thus, is possible with low resources (hence methods). Although risks arise from resources, well-informed practices disproportionately improve analyst performance, improving cost-benefit ratios. This chapter introduces UIMs, covering six one further method, provides approaches assessing existing, emerging future their effective uses.
