design-review

To run a usability analysis on a new UI prototype, provide the screen set to trigger an automated evaluation. The system applies cognitive walkthroughs and Nielsen heuristics to surface task flow issues and generate a prioritized action list.

A cognitive walkthrough for evaluating interface design assesses primary tasks by stepping through the user's happy path. It documents usability issues at each stage to identify friction points before aggregating findings into a prioritized report.

Yes, the usability evaluation checks visual grouping and affordances during its visual evaluation phase. It applies Gestalt principles and Norman's concepts to assess perceptual grouping, feedback, and state coverage across the interface.

Yes, you can use a heuristic evaluation for iterative visual changes by providing the updated screen set. The system runs fresh-eyes sessions and aggregates severity-rated findings to map redesign impacts to usability heuristics.

You should not use a UI design review for functional QA or code review. This evaluation specifically targets interface usability, visual design quality, and perceptual grouping rather than testing application functionality or syntax.
