2INTERFACE USABILITY ANALYSISNielsen’s HeuristicsThe Nielsen’s Heuristics analysis shall be adapted to analyze and evaluate the userinterface of the concerned mobile application. The Nielsen’s Heuristics is one of the mostcommonly used approaches in the field of User Interface design analysis. It represents a listof ten general principles for designing interactive platforms.The reason behind choosing this approach is that the Nielsen’s Heuristics providesalmost every possible aspect in which a user interface must be tested before delivering to theclient or making a platform go live before the users.In order to evaluate the interface design, the following principles from the Nielsen’sHeuristics are to be weighed against the usability features provided by the concernedapplication interface. The principles are as follows:Visibility of system statusMatch between system and the real worldUser control and freedomConsistency and standardsError preventionRecognition rather than recallFlexibility and efficiency of useAesthetic and minimalist designHelp users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errorsHelp and documentation This report will cover all the necessary principles from those that are listed aboveand evaluate the pros and cons of the interface designs that have been created for the FarmShop mobile application.

An in-depth analysis of the issuesconsisting of their description and severity has been listed below.Design Issues1.The design fruitfully implements almost every visibility features of an e-Commerceapplication like cart updates, login credentials and so on. However, the design clearlyviolates the ‘visibility of system status’ principle of the application in a couple ofcases. Firstly, the restaurant-booking page does not mention that the application offersits users to book the restaurant for parties. It is only after opting to schedule thebooking can a user be presented with this information. This is quite a serious flaw inthe design, as it does not keep the user aware of what they have on offer for theapplication. This is indeed a serious issue as this also affects the business process
