Project Usability
Usability Studies
   

Our team aims to develop a user friendly and intuitive platform for our users. Hence, usability studies play a big part of our development process as they allow us to assess user requirements and find out what works best for them. Usability studies will be conducted in two forms: heuristic evaluations and UAT.

Heuristic evaluations will be based on Nielsen's ten usability heuristics, which are ten general principles for user interface design.
Violations of these heuristics will be assessed on a severity scale of 1 to 4 according to these factors:

  • Frequency
  • Impact
  • Persistence

1 = Cosmetic problem only: need not be fixed unless extra time is available on project
2 = Minor usability problem: fixing this should be given low priority
3 = Major usability problem: important to fix, so should be given high priority
4 = Usability catastrophe: imperative to fix this before product can be released

Project Scope

We will utilize an open-source content management system written in java, ***, to develop our web application on. We chose *** because it is highly customizable, scalable and flexible in terms of UI design, functionalities and access control.
