RRS UI tenets & traps: 100 years of research in the palm of your hand

 

Presenting with Michael Medlock

This talk describes UI Tenets & Traps, a heuristic evaluation tool that distills 100 years of UI research and best practices. It is a short, memorable, internally consistent rule set which gains depth the more you use it.


The goal of UI Tenets & Traps is to make you a better detector, predictor and communicator of UX issues. UI Tenets & Traps won the 2013 Engineering Excellence award at Microsoft and has been used successfully by several Fortune 500 technology companies since.


There are 9 Tenets and 26 Traps. We will present a subset of Traps in our allotted time using some audience participation “skits” and real-world examples.
