Two expert minds are better than one

Expert Reviews (Heuristic Evaluations)

Usability Sciences performs Expert Reviews (also known as Heuristic Evaluations) for clients needing a quick evaluation of a website, mobile site or app, or software product, but without the time to conduct a lab-based test (which should always be the preferred approach to site or product improvement because it conveys the true voice of the target user). 

USC's review process assigns two experienced usability consultants to the project.  They review the site, app, or product independently, making notes of all potential issues  they observe. They then compare findings to arrive at a consensus of usability issues. The consultants consolidate their perspectives into a report designed to provide high-level analysis and feedback, as well as specific issues or concerns about the website or software product.
