User Interface Inspection Methods: A User-Centered Design Method (Paperback)

User Interface Inspection Methods succinctly covers five inspection methods: heuristic evaluation, perspective-based user interface inspection, cognitive walkthrough, pluralistic walkthrough, and formal usability inspections.

Heuristic evaluation is perhaps the best-known inspection method, requiring a group of evaluators to review a product against a set of general principles. The perspective-based user interface inspection is based on the principle that different perspectives will find different problems in a user interface. In the related persona-based inspection, colleagues assume the roles of personas and review the product based on the needs, background, tasks, and pain points of the different personas. The cognitive walkthrough focuses on ease of learning.

Most of the inspection methods do not require users; the main exception is the pluralistic walkthrough, in which a user is invited to provide feedback while members of a product team listen, observe the user, and ask questions.

After reading this book, you will be able to use these UI inspection methods with confidence and certainty.

「使用者介面檢查方法」簡明地介紹了五種檢查方法：啟發式評估、基於觀點的使用者介面檢查、認知漫遊、多元漫遊和正式可用性檢查。

啟發式評估可能是最著名的檢查方法，需要一組評估者根據一組通用原則來審查產品。基於觀點的使用者介面檢查基於不同觀點會在使用者介面中發現不同問題的原則。在相關的基於角色的檢查中，同事們扮演角色並根據不同角色的需求、背景、任務和痛點來審查產品。認知漫遊專注於易學性。

大多數檢查方法不需要使用者；唯一的例外是多元漫遊，其中邀請一位使用者提供反饋，同時產品團隊的成員聆聽、觀察使用者並提問。

閱讀本書後，您將能夠自信且確定地使用這些使用者介面檢查方法。
