The Development of Heuristics for Evaluation of Dashboard Visualizations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heuristic evaluation is used in human-computer interaction studies to assess the usability of information systems. Nielsen's widely used heuristics, first developed in 1990, are appropriate for general usability but do not specifically address usability in systems that produce information visualizations.

Objective

This article develops a heuristic evaluation checklist that can be used to evaluate systems that produce information visualizations. Principles from Nielsen's heuristics were combined with heuristic principles developed by prior researchers specifically to evaluate information visualization.

Methods

We used nominal group technique to determine an appropriate final set. The combined existing usability principles and associated factors were distribu
