Criteria For Evaluating Usability Evaluation Methods
International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 2001The current variety of alternative approaches to usability evaluation methods (UEMs) designed to assess and improve usability in software systems is offset by a general lack of understanding of the capabilities and limitations of each. Practitioners need to know which methods are more effective and in what ways and for what purposes.

Usability evaluation with the cognitive walkthrough
Conference companion on Human factors in computing systems - CHI '95, 1995The cognitive walkthrough is a technique for evaluating the design of a user interface, with speciaJ attention to how well the interface supports "exploratory learning," i.e., first-time use without formal training. The evaluation can be performed by the system's designers in the e,arly stages of design, before empirical user testing is possible. Early
