Introduction
Jakob Nielsen conducted an extensive research over designing user interface and
identified a group of ten heuristics, or interface design principles, that provide guidelines for
an interactive interface design. Heuristics can be defined as “rules of thumb”. Nielsen’s ten
heuristics rules are based on derivations. In this report, we will discuss about Jakob Nielsen’s
10 principles with their description. Next we will discuss, one of the ten’s heuristics usability
and discuss whether it violates or follows that principle. Finally, the alignments of the
selected principle will not distort the reality of the principle is discussed.
Discussion
Heuristics evaluation consists of a series of inspection process for an interface
usability problems. It comprises both the predictive (before design completion) method as
well as the rating and evaluation (after design) method (Casare & et al., 2016). The heuristic
evaluation can be used to identify the problem of users in an interface design. So that they
can be able to attend an interactive design process (Choma, Zaina & Beraldo, 2015).
Heuristic evaluation technique involves a group of evaluators (ranges from five to seven)
those are used to examine the usability and compatibility principles of the interface.
Nielsen’s ten heuristics usability
The following are Nielsen’s ten principles for an interactive interface design:
