Usability Evaluation

8 weeks · 0 milestones

Usability evaluation of an interactive system with minimum 5 real participants, conducted and reported to professional research standard. Triad: concept/ideation artifact (evaluation plan: usability methodology selected — cognitive walkthrough, think-aloud testing, heuristic evaluation, remote unmoderated testing, or mixed — with written rationale for the method choice and test scenario or task design), technical execution artifact (usability evaluation conducted with minimum 5 real participants: for moderated testing, recordings or timestamped observation notes from each session; for unmoderated, platform export with session recordings or heatmaps), documentation/critique artifact (findings report: severity-rated usability issues using a recognised scale — Nielsen's 1–5 or equivalent — frequency of occurrence for each issue, prioritised redesign recommendations with rationale, and a summary of implications for the next design iteration — minimum 1,200 words). AI-fakeability countermeasure: participant session records — consent forms, video recordings, or timestamped observation notes — are the unfakeable layer. Studio critique: UX lead or senior researcher challenges methodology choices and recommendation prioritisation at a documented session. Proof: evaluation plan, participant records (consent + session evidence), findings report, critique notes. Verifier: UX lead, senior UX researcher, or HCI academic.
