Evaluating Usability Evaluation Methods: Criteria, Method and a Case Study

The paper proposes an approach to comparative usability evaluation that incorporates important relevant criteria identified in previous work. It applies the proposed approach to a case study of a comparative evaluation of an academic website employing four widely-used usability evaluation methods (UEMs): heuristic evaluation, cognitive walkthroughs, think-aloud protocol and co-discovery learning. Keywords. Usability evaluation methods, comparative usability evaluation, case study.
