As users, we always wish to have seamless user experience and user interfaces. If an application is too complicated to use, and it doesn’t provide us the expected experience we will for sure discontinue using it. I thought of sharing a quick glance about the 10 Usability Heuristics by Jakob Nielson which I stumbled upon and how we could use those to finding usability flaws while testing. These Heuristics serves as rule of thumb which is applied for wide range of User interfaces, and it helps to avoid the feeling of exceptions from our users. It applies across all types of technology and in any case and is evolved from the basics of human behaviours and interactions.
