Title
Comparative usability evaluation: critical incidents and critical threads
Abstract
Em irical usability evaluations (particularly forrna~ive J ev uations (13)) hinge on observing and interpreting critical incidents (8) of use. We proposed (3,5) aug- menting critical incident methods by analysis of what we called critical threads: sets of causally related user episodes that, taken together, define major usability themes. This paper extents this work to the compar- ative usability analysis of a related artifact. We dis- cuss how our earlier claims analysis was used to orient and simplify our current evaluation efforts.
