Performing the Cognitive Walkthrough - Pt. 1
Define the inputs to the walkthrough.
- Identification of the users.
- Sample tasks for evaluation.
- Description (mockups) or implementation of the interface.
- Action sequences (scenarios) for completing the tasks.
Convene the walkthrough.
- The facilitator maintains the pace of the discussion.
- A scribe keeps two lists:
- problems (and suggested solutions)
- assumptions (about tasks and users’ experience)
- The participates walk through (discuss) the tasks with respect to the interface (mockups) and action sequences (scenarios); they try to tell a credible story.
