Document usability inspection findings

Systematic documentation transforms scattered observations into actionable insights. Without proper recording, valuable findings disappear into memory fog. Create a consistent format capturing issue location, severity, violated principles, and specific recommendations.

For heuristic evaluation, document:

• Affected wireframe or element
• Violated heuristic
• Severity rating (cosmetic to catastrophic)
• Improvement recommendations
• Include screenshots with annotations showing exact problem locations

This precision helps designers understand and address issues efficiently. Organize findings by severity and frequency rather than discovery order. Prioritization helps teams tackle critical issues first when time constraints limit fixes. Link related issues that might share solutions. Clear documentation also creates a reference for future iterations and similar projects.
