    • Adapting Heuristics for the Mobile Panorama 

      Joyce, Ger; Lilley, Mariana; Barker, Trevor; Jefferies, Amanda (2014)
      Expert-based usability inspection methods are well established; the heuristic method in particular is widely known for being fast, relatively inexpensive and easy to learn. However, traditional heuristics are not easily ...

    • Adaption of Usability Evaluation Methods for Native Smartphone Applications 

      Joyce, Ger (2014-09)
      Research has shown that traditional usability evaluation methods cannot be readily applied to the evaluation of native smartphone applications. This research investigates this issue by adapting two usability evaluation ...

    • Evaluating the impact of changing contexts on mobile application usability within agile environments 

      Joyce, Ger; Lilley, Mariana; Barker, Trevor; Jefferies, Amanda (2016-12-06)
      Mobile applications tend to be used in contexts that change over time. These varying contexts may impact the usability, and potentially the overall user experience, of mobile applications. However, the impact of context ...

    • Mobile Application Tutorials: Perception of Usefulness from an HCI Expert Perspective 

      Joyce, Ger; Lilley, Mariana; Barker, Trevor; Jefferies, Amanda (Springer Nature, 2016-06-19)
      Mobile application tutorials are an opportunity to educate users about a mobile application. Should a mobile application tutorial not be used, the number of frustrated users and uninstalled applications could increase, ...

    • Mobile application usability heuristics: Decoupling context-of-use 

      Joyce, Ger; Lilley, Mariana; Barker, Trevor; Jefferies, Amanda (Springer Nature, 2017-05-14)
      Context-of-use is a vital consideration when evaluating the usability of mobile applications. Thus, when defining sets of heuristics for the usability evaluation of mobile applications, a common practice has been to include ...

    • Mobile Application Usability: Heuristic Evaluation and Evaluation of Heuristics 

      Joyce, Ger; Lilley, Mariana; Barker, Trevor; Jefferies, Amanda (Springer Nature, 2016-06-30)
      Many traditional usability evaluation methods do not consider mobile-specific issues. This can result in mobile applications that abound in usability issues. We empirically evaluate three sets of usability heuristics for ...
