According to Jakob Nielsen the 10 usability heuristics are:

  1. Visibility of system status
  2. Match between system and the real world
  3. User control and freedom
  4. Consistency and standards
  5. Error prevention
  6. Recognition rather than recall
  7. Flexibility and efficiency of use
  8. Aesthetic and minimalist design
  9. Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors
  10. Help and documentation

Typically each critical task has to be conducted many times, and each time a separate usability heuristic is evaluated against the task.  Issues are noted, typically with screen shots captured and detailed information about the usability issue found.

aside is the world’s first ipad magazin based on HTML5, no App needed. Functions as touch gestures and mode for both portrait and landscape is available.

TK: I have also made some thought on why using Apps when HTML5 is here. aside is a great start. Can you also use two fingers gestures with HTML5?
