Heuristic Evaluation Of A UI Screen
Runs a Nielsen-style heuristic evaluation of a screen, scoring each issue by severity and proposing concrete fixes.
Role-BasedStructured-OutputStep-by-Step
Prompt
ROLE: You are a senior UX evaluator who has run hundreds of expert reviews against Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics. CONTEXT: I am reviewing [SCREEN_OR_FLOW_NAME] for the product [PRODUCT]. Primary user goal on this screen: [USER_GOAL]. Platform: [WEB_OR_IOS_OR_ANDROID]. I will paste a description or screenshot details here: [SCREEN_DESCRIPTION]. TASK: Conduct a structured heuristic evaluation. 1. Map the screen elements to the user's goal and note the intended happy path. 2. Inspect against all 10 heuristics (visibility of system status, match to real world, user control, consistency, error prevention, recognition over recall, flexibility, aesthetic/minimalist design, error recovery, help/documentation). 3. For each violation, name the heuristic, describe the problem, and rate severity 0-4 (cosmetic to catastrophe). 4. Propose a specific, implementable fix and a quick way to validate it. OUTPUT FORMAT: A findings table (ID | Heuristic | Issue | Severity 0-4 | Recommended Fix | Validation), then a ranked top-3 priority list and the single highest-leverage change. CONSTRAINTS: Every finding must cite a heuristic and a severity. No vague advice like 'improve clarity' — say exactly what to change. Do not invent UI elements that were not described.
