Abstract: Evaluating software usability in the early stages of development is important, thus avoiding costs associated with future changes and dissatisfied users. Current usability inspection techniques may be limited in scope as they do not embrace concepts such as User Experience (UX) and Information Architecture (IA). This paper presents a new set of heuristics based on Garrett’s elements of UX to be used in usability inspections, aiming to create systems that prioritize UX and IA aspects as an alternative to existing heuristic sets. The set was developed based on Garrett’s planes of UX, resulting in the creation of 14 heuristics organized according to each UX plane. We conducted an empirical study to analyze the technique’s feasibility. The results indicate that the new heuristics set can detect a reasonable amount of defects within an appropriate time frame. Additionally, we received feedback on the heuristics themselves, allowing for slight modifications. Finally, the paper concludes by discussing future directions for the new heuristics set. (More)
