Setting Expectations before Heuristics Evaluation UX
A Heuristic Evaluation for the UI of a Website or App or Digital Product is not the whole picture, in fact, it is a crucial aspect of the “Usability Testing” coin. It is a value addition in the larger scheme of delivering a product ‘that does what it says’ all while making end-users happy.
Can Do
- Fix Common Design Challenges often overlooked to significantly improve the product’s UI/UX
- Expert evaluations by a team of experts looking for specific system performance and design problemsÂ
- Detailed and technically sound analysis done by experts using established Design and Usability benchmarks
- Identify specific relevant core issues that might get overlooked by tools, systems and creator teamÂ
Cannot
- Can’t substitute holistic objective strategic UI/UX Experience Design and data-driven Usability Testing methodsÂ
- Won’t be successful if initial heuristic benchmarking is flawed or inaccurate
- May sometimes lead to “fixing” what’s “not actually broken” or relevant
- Could be “expensive” since it involves a team of experienced experts who have had exposure to working with similar systems
- Initial setup and research is much time consuming since it is difficult to find ideal users before the product has hit the market so results may be “subjective”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between User Testing and Heuristic Evaluation in UI UX?
User Testing and Heuristic Evaluation UX are both different sides of the same coin. During digital product engineering, it is important to utilize both these UX testing methods at different stages of development. Heuristic Analysis UX services give you expert opinion on finding critical “core” issues in the system that need urgent fixing. On the flip side, user testing cross validates whether the problem areas that need “urgent fixing” are actually affecting real life user experience in the first place or not.
In our expert opinion, these two must go hand-in-hand as a strategic approach.
Can Small Medium Businesses working on their own websites, apps or digital products afford Heuristic Evaluation for UX?
Heuristic Analysis for UI services are more of a consulting exercise to determine whether the digital product corresponds with aesthetic trends, UI UX benchmarks and industry best practices or not. The cost essentially depends on the experts you rope in to help you figure this out.
At TheFinch we understand how critical t timelines, budget and product performance are for success – every little thing counts. And, that is why we offer Premium Heuristic Evaluation UX services at affordable pricing. In fact, our flexible engagement model gives our clients added leverage to club Heuristic Evaluation for UI UX and other UI UX design, development and testing services in the same engagement model for superior ROI.
When is the perfect time to do a UX Heuristic Evaluation?
SMBs and Midmarket enterprises must balance costs during product development. Therefore, it is key to find the pe ko rfect time to conduct a Heuristic Evaluation. The right time to conduct a UI UX Heuristic Evaluation and Analysis is after the first prototype.
Yes, you got that right. It should be right after the first functional prototype and right before the team begins to code it. This is the ideal time to fix all critical usability issues as the team has yet to develop it as fixing usability issues that arise after development would prove to be much costlier.
How many experts are needed to conduct a Heuristic Evaluation for UI UX?
Too many cooks spoil the broth. You must have of course at least 1 Usability Expert and at the most 3. When you have 2 or 3 experts make the evaluations, it eliminates as much bias as possible since Heuristic Evaluation is an intuitive exercise and carries “subjective” expert opinions.
In our opinion, anything beyond three is inviting trouble since there are chances that consolidation and collaboration of keypoints and the essence of quickly fixing problems will dilute in the process.
