When reviewing an interface without the benefit of usabilties testing results, is there a standard way to do heuristic evalutions of an interface?
Answer
The guidelines posted below from Aaron Mciver about Jacob et al are loose guidelines and change depending on what you are reviewing; websites use slightly different heuristics including homepage/search etc, which are pretty specific.
What really helps me is having a rigid framework to check if my heuristics pass/fail/don't know. I'll also include comments beside each one.
eg
Once you've gone through your spreadsheet you should go back to the points you've commented and grab screens (if you haven't done so already) of the offending sections. This will give you a bunch of comments plus screens with which you can put your report together with.
