UX Quiz: an online heuristic evaluation

Get a sense of your app’s usability with this free heuristic evaluation tool

In today’s crowded market of software, the usability, or ease of use of your application, plays a vital role in the uptake and therefore the success of that app. Do you know what the usability of your current system or application is? Have you ever wondered how you can improve the user experience?

Some time ago, we built a simple UX tool based on the principles of Jakob Nielsen, a User Advocate researcher and designer known as “the world’s leading expert on user-friendly design.” Nielsen’s world-renowned principles are called the “10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design” and they help you assess the user’s eye-view of your system and evaluate its performance and application usability.

In this post we will give you an overview of this heuristic evaluation and offer a quick and practical tool for you to start measuring how usable your system really is.

Jakob Nielsen heuristic evaluation

As opposed to a specific usability guideline, Nielsen’s 10 principles act as broad rules of thumb that every system should follow in order to fulfill its purpose of bringing value to its users. We’ve listed these principles below, but feel free to read more on Nielsen’s website:

  1. Visibility of system status
  2. Match between system and the real world
  3. User control and freedom
  4. Consistency and standards
  5. Error prevention
  6. Recognition rather than recall
  7. Flexibility and efficiency of use
  8. Aesthetic and minimalist design
  9. Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors
  10. Help and documentation

  • يُنصَح عند تنظيف المنزل من الغبار والأتربة البدء بتنظيفه من الأعلى إلى الأسفل، وذلك لأنّ الغبار سيسقط من الأسطح العلويّة أثناء تنظيفها، وسيستقرّ على الأسطح الموجودة أسفل منها، ويمكن اتّباع الاستراتيجيّة التالية أثناء التنظيف: تنظيف المراوح المعلقة بالسقف ومصابيح الإضاءة، ويفضّل استخدام قطعة قماشٍ نظيفةٍ أو رطبةٍ، أو منفضة الألياف لذلك. تنظيف الجدران والأبواب، ويمكن استخدام قطعة قماشٍ نظيفةٍ، وزجاجة رذاذ مليئة بالماء للتنظيف، مع الحرص على تنظيف الزوايا والشقوق الموجودة على الأبواب أو الجدران أثناء ذلك. تنظيف النوافذ باستخدام قطعة قماشٍ نظيفةٍ ومنظف النوافذ وفي حال ظهور أيّ خطوط على الزجاج فيمكن استخدام ممسحة نظيفة للتخلص منها، واستخدام قطعة نظيفة أخرى ورذاذ الماء، لتنظيف عتبة النوافذ من الغبار. تنظيف الأسطح والبدء بإزالة جميع الزخارف الموجودة على الأسطح، كالطاولات، وخزانة الكتب، ثمّ إزالة الغبار عنها باستخدام منفضة الألياف، وفي حال بقاء آثار من الغبار، فيمكن استخدام قطعة قماش مبلّلة بالماء لمسحها. تنظيف الزخارف بقطعة قماشٍ مبللةٍ بالماء قبل إعادتها إلى مكانها، ولا ينصح بنفضها من الغبار وهي مكانها، لأنّ ذلك سيتسبب في انتقال الغبار إلى الأسطح المجاورة لها. غسل البياضات كالستائر، والملاءات، وأغطية الوسائد مع الالوان المماثلة لها في الغسالة، ثمّ تجفيفها، أو نشرها على منشر الغسيل.
