Is the design good?

1. Analitically

   • Comprehends
     • Simulate
     • Predict
   • Examples
     • Heuristic (Principles applied systematically)
       • Purpose
         • Evaluate if it´s learnable
         • Not always right
       • Forms
         • Exhaustive analysis
         • Incremental approach
       • Examples of Principles
         • State should be visible
         • Real world match
         • User control and freedom (paths)
         • Consistency and standarts
         • Error prevention
         • Recognition instead recall
         • Flexibility and efficiency
         • Users diagnose and recover
     • Walkthroughs (from an expert)
       • Functioning
         • Prototype
         • Persona
           • Motivations
           • Information processing style
           • Self efficacy
           • Risk taking stance
           • Learning strategy
         • Task
       • Characteristics
         • Think as the user
         • Granular
         • Systematic
         • Questions each step
     • Claims (set for each scenario)
     • Cognitive (expert - optimization)

2. Empirically

   • Removing expert judgement
   • Usability tests
     • Low-cost method
     • For low-fidelity prototypes
     • Task based
     • Lower level problems
       • Finding breakdowns
       • Layout
       • Flow
       • Labeling
     • Define
       • Tasks
         • Design shoud do the teaching
       • Representative stakeholders
     • Features
       • No questions
       • User experience
         • Retrospective interviews
         • Recording
   • In real contexts
     • Tech proves
       • Deployment into a context
         • Effects on it
     • Ecological validity
       • Generalizability degree
     • Experience sampling
       • In context
         • Interrupting users with surveys
   • A/B Tests
     • Control condition
     • Experimental condition
     • Evidences of causality
     • Comparing designs experimentally
     • Two populations

3. Critically

   • Critique
     • Feedback
       • Harsh feedback
         • Shows good and bad aspects
         • Harmful
         • Honest
     • Deconstructions
       • Succesful
       • Fail
     • Features
       • Two way
         • Collaborative
           • Critic
           • Designer
       • Engage deeply
         • Expertise on the problem
         • Provide their own perspective
         • Meaningful critiques
       • Divergent and convergent
         • Ideas in new directions
         • Discovering why something doesn't work
   • Socratic questioning
     • Clarification questions
     • Designer assumptions questions
     • Encouraging alternative perspectives
     • Implications and consequences
   • Design Principles
     • Just
     • Intuitive
     • User-friendly
     • Simple
     • Novel
     • Powerful
     • Invisible
     • Universal
