Abstract

This paper reviews two walkthrough methods for the web design practitioner to assess their web-based systems. Their relative advantages and weaknesses, and suggestions for web evaluation are offered, with a brief website example. Based on these analyses, some changes are suggested to website evaluation to improve accuracy and reliability of the current walkthrough methods; however, it is not a comparison between the walkthrough techniques in order to determine which technique is best at detecting usability problems of a website.
