“…Firstly a method called heuristic evaluation (e.g. Nielsen & Mack, 1994) is employed which compares the interface with published user interface guidelines. A more recent development has been the use of "patterns" as a method of designing user interfaces (Tidwell, 1999).…”

“…At this stage in our UCD cycle -iterating between design and development -we collect user feedback through formative, heuristic evaluation [44]. We use scenarios to walk users through the design and early prototypes [45] to assess potential in each tool for knowledge discovery and in-depth analysis. This approach allows us to obtain detailed, qualitative information from target users throughout the iterative design and development process, and feed this back into improving and validating our analytical process and design [32,46].…”

a b s t r a c tThe analysis of increasingly large and diverse data for meaningful interpretation and question answering is handicapped by human cognitive limitations. Consequently, semi-automatic abstraction of complex data within structured information spaces becomes increasingly important, if its knowledge content is to support intuitive, exploratory discovery. Exploration of skill demand is an area where regularly updated, multi-dimensional data may be exploited to assess capability within the workforce to manage the demands of the modern, technology-and data-driven economy. The knowledge derived may be employed by skilled practitioners in defining career pathways, to identify where, when and how to update their skillsets in line with advancing technology and changing work demands. This same knowledge may also be used to identify the combination of skills essential in recruiting for new roles. To address the challenges inherent in exploring the complex, heterogeneous, dynamic data that feeds into such applications, we investigate the use of an ontology to guide structuring of the information space, to allow individuals and institutions to interactively explore and interpret the dynamic skill demand landscape for their specific needs. As a test case we consider the relatively new and highly dynamic field of Data Science, where insightful, exploratory data analysis and knowledge discovery are critical. We employ context-driven and task-centred scenarios to explore our research questions and guide iterative design, development and formative evaluation of our ontology-driven, visual exploratory discovery and analysis approach, to measure where it adds value to users' analytical activity. Our findings reinforce the potential in our approach, and point us to future paths to build on.

“…Cognitive walkthroughs differ slightly, in that they are inspection methods that are focused on the tasks that users will perform with the interface [20]. The goal is for the reviewer to act like an end-user conducting specific tasks with the system.…”

User Evaluation Methods for Visual Web Search Interfaces

In recent years, numerous visual Web search interfaces have been developed in the research community. However, the user evaluations of these interfaces have been performed using a wide range of methods, making it difficult to compare and verify the relative value of the proposed advancements. In this paper, we survey these evaluation methods, and propose a stepped evaluation and refinement model for the systematic study and enhancement of visual Web search interfaces. We suggest that this stepped model can be generalized to support the evaluation of other information visualization systems that target exploratory or knowledge-centric domains.
