Abstract

Evaluation refines and validates design solutions in order to establish adequate user experiences. For mobile user interfaces in dynamic and critical environments, user experiences can vary enormously, setting high requirements for evaluation. This chapter presents a framework for the selection, combination, and tuning of evaluation methods. It identifies seven evaluation constraints, that is, the development stage, the complexity of the design, the purpose, participants, setting, duration, and cost of evaluation, which influence the appropriateness of the method. Using a combination of methods in different settings (such as Wizard-of-Oz, game-based, and field evaluations) a concise, complete, and coherent set of user experience data can be gathered, such as performance, situation awareness, trust, and acceptance. Applying this framework to a case study on context-aware mobile interfaces for the police resulted in specific guidelines for selecting evaluation methods and succeeded to capture the mobile context and its relation to the user experience.
