Week 13: Test

You will evaluate your high-fidelity prototype using heuristic evaluation and generate insights to inform the next design iteration.

Topic

  • Heuristic Evalauation

Studio Activities

Get your prototype ready for evaluation by clearly labeling the screen flows and stating the problem you are trying to solving.

  • Make 3 copies of your Hi-Fi Prototype in Figma. Rename them as Evaluation-1, Evaluation-2, Evaluation-3.
  • Share one copy of your prototype with a member from a different group.
  • Have your prototype evaluated using the list of 10 usability heuristics.
  • When evaluating others’ prototype, add comments directly on the interface.
    – Each comment MUST indicate which heuristic has been violated
    – Clearly explain the issue.
    – Provide recommendations to solve the issue
  • Feel free to provide additional comments separately on other aspects of the prototype, such as layout, spacing, alignments, use of UIs like overlays, buttons, color choices etc.
  • Bonus: Ask ChatGPT to conduct heuristic evaluation of each of your prototype screens.
