CommandView User Interface Evaluation: Preliminary Heuristic Analysis Results

Abstract

This document presents a preliminary heuristic evaluation of the CommandView user interface in use at the National Defence Command Centre. The analysis is based on Nielsen's Heuristics. In general, CommandView displays key information for the Joint staff in a comprehensive, integrated format. However, key problems involve consistency of organization. A solution may be to provide a consistent interface by providing standardized terminology across sites and dynamic control of content. A proper evaluation study involving multiple evaluators and/or usability testing is recommended to generate more representative and reliable results and generate further guidance for improvements.
