Title
Prototype testing for a destination recommender system: steps procedures and implications
Abstract
Abstract This paper describes and discusses the application of various state-of-the-art techniques to improve the design and usability of a web,application in the B2C area. It is illustrated by the ongoing,project of developing an intelligent destination recommender,system,(DieToRecs). These techniques comprise four particular evaluation steps: 1. a concept test, 2. a cognitive walkthrough, 3. a heuristic evaluation, and 4. an experimental evaluation by system users.Each section (i.e. evaluation step) addresses three areas of interest: a) the starting situation and objective, b) a short description of the applied method and the procedure, c) a brief summary of the results and the lessons learned for the general use of evaluative techniques.
