Usability Heuristics

Incidentally, I just mentioned my error message project (my assignment at ASRC Federal) in a comment in LinkedIn. I saw and responded to a post that requested comments on Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics. The questions:
"Which of these heuristics resonate the most/least with you and your product? When do you follow them? Where do you break them?"
(Link to post)

I commented:
I like your post. It is very informative. Two of the 10 are on error messages. I gravitated towards those two probably because I worked on an error message project in the past.

 

Nielsen's Usability Heuristics was (and probably still is) popular. I found a paper that used his usability heuristics in a typical manner - to assess the usability of several university websites. The paper is:

I also found an interesting article that reported on several usability heuristics in use. Nielsen's is just one. I will look into the usability heuristics in use today.
