Heuristic Evaluation Framework

The Heuristic Evaluation Framework directly addresses customer experience issues by identifying usability problems in a user interface. This helps improve the customer's interaction with the product and ensures a smoother user experience during execution.

The Heuristic Evaluation Framework is a method for evaluating a user interface design based on predefined heuristics or general principles. It involves a small group of evaluators who independently assess the interface and identify usability issues. This framework is widely used because it is cost-effective, quick, and can be conducted without the involvement of actual users. It helps in improving the usability of products by identifying intuitive and user-centric design flaws.
