Heuristic evaluation provides a structured, cost-effective framework to inspect your designs and catch usability flaws before they reach your users. By taking this course, you will transition from guessing what works to systematically auditing digital products using established usability principles. You will develop a keen eye for design friction and learn how to recommend clear, actionable improvements that elevate the overall user experience. What you will learn: 1. Understand the foundational principles of usability and the core role of heuristic evaluation in product development. 2. Apply established usability heuristics to analyze web and mobile interfaces. 3. Identify and document user experience friction points with clear severity ratings. 4. Evaluate modern interfaces for accessibility and inclusive design standards using updated heuristic checklists. 5. Conduct collaborative heuristic walkthroughs with product teams to align on design solutions. 6. Write structured usability audit reports that translate findings into actionable design changes. This course begins by mastering essential usability definitions and the theoretical foundations of human-computer interaction before progressing through real-world interface audits, learning how to document issues, rate their severity, and suggest practical design enhancements. It is designed for aspiring UX/UI designers, product managers, and developers who want to improve their design quality without any prior evaluation experience.
