A Pattern-based Usability Inspection Method: First Empirical Performance Measures and Future Issues

Abstract

The Usability Pattern Inspection (UPI) is a new usability inspection method designed for the added downstream utility of producing concrete design recommendations. This paper provides first empirical evidence that UPI measures up to the established inspection method Heuristic Evaluation (HE) regarding defect identification. It is shown that there is also some potential for synergy between UPI and HE. The further research plan of measuring UPI is presented.
