🏅Nielsen Norman's ten usability heuristics in working order

Jakob Nielsen's ten interface heuristics, kept under their published names as a review checklist rather than a scoring system

01
Show acknowledgement after a click; if work is slow, add progress and an honest expectation instead of a frozen screen.
02
Match between the system and the real world
Use the customer’s nouns and natural task order, not database labels or the organization chart.
03
User control and freedom
Provide undo, cancel and a visible exit; confirmation dialogs are a poor substitute for reversibility.
04
Consistency and standards
05
Error prevention
Prevent high-cost mistakes with constraints, sensible defaults and confirmation that names the consequence.
06
Recognition rather than recall
Keep choices, formats and prior values visible so the user need not remember information from another screen.
07
Flexibility and efficiency of use
08
Aesthetic and minimalist design
09
Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors
10
Help and documentation
