Manual techniques for evaluating domain usability

Domain usability is the aspect of a particular user interface that relates to its terminology, hierarchy of terms, feature descriptions or icons, language and consistency. However, domain usability is often neglected not only by software developers, but also by many researchers. To support the development of better, domain-usable user interfaces, the main contribution of this paper is the design of novel techniques for manual domain usability evaluation. We designed five qualitative evaluation techniques. To show the viability of the designed techniques, we demonstrate some of them in the domain of gospel music.
