HerCode: Heuristic Evaluation Materials for a Mobile App

Materials from a heuristic evaluation of the HerCode application include evaluator responses, an evaluation form, and an evaluation script. The dataset comprises PDF files totaling 1.1 MB, authored by Wanuelle Gonçalves and last updated on 2026-05-30. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Analyzing patterns in identified usability problems based on Nielsen's 10 heuristics.
• Studying evaluator agreement and severity ratings for usability issues.
• Reviewing the structure and content of a heuristic evaluation form and script for methodological replication.

Strengths

• Includes materials from four evaluators, providing multiple perspectives.
• Structured around the established Nielsen 10 Usability Heuristics framework.
• Contains three distinct document types: evaluator responses, a consent form, and an evaluation script.

Limitations

• Dataset size is small at 1.1 MB, limiting the volume of raw data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Data is contained in PDFs, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
