Abstract

The evaluation is an important step while designing new solutions. Although there are specific evaluation methods for digital design, little is investigated about their effects on the design process. This work presents a case study which analyzed the results on the use of formative evaluation with the heuristic evaluation, the communicability evaluation method and the usability test on the review of the designing activity. Contributions of the evaluation have been pointed out and questions about the solution review need further research in the future.
