启发式评估是一种可用性检查方法，已被改编为通过开发特定的一组启发式评估可视化应用程序。本文提出了一种实证研究，旨在评估的能力的方法来预测用户使用可视化应用程序时注意到的可用性问题。将20名评估人员确定的潜在可用性问题与46名用户通过可用性测试发现的同一应用程序的问题进行比较，并与在测试期间观察这些用户的实验人员推荐的修复方法进行比较。结果表明，使用一些技巧可能会引起潜在的问题，没有用户注意到，而使用的应用程序;另一方面，用户遇到了不可预测的可用性问题。
Heuristic evaluation is a usability inspection method that has been adapted to evaluate visualization applications through the development of specific sets of heuristics. This paper presents an empirical study meant to assess the capacity of the method to anticipate the usability issues noticed by users when using a visualization application. The potential usability problems identified by 20 evaluators were compared with the issues found for the same application by 46 users through a usability test, as well as with the fixes recommended by the experimenters observing those users during the test. Results suggest that using some heuristics may have elicited potential problems that none of the users noticed while using the application; on the other hand, users encountered unpredicted usability issues.
