A rapid, expert-based usability inspection that identifies and prioritizes UI issues using standardized heuristics.
Heuristic evaluation is a structured usability inspection where experts systematically assess an interface against established heuristics. It uncovers usability issues early, rates problems by severity, and produces targeted recommendations to improve interaction and information architecture. Typical flow includes task analysis, heuristic application, issue documentation, and prioritized remediation suggestions.
