Q. How much time does it take to do an evaluation?
A. This really varies depending on how complicated your website or application it is, how throughly you investigate it, and how many task scenarios you decide to work through. For an 'average' website, you should probably expect a fairly thorough evaluation to take 3-5 hours.

Heuristic Evaluation FAQ:
Q. What is an heuristic evaluation? Why should I do one?
A. See Heuristic Evaluation.
Q. The application I am evaluating has design and layout issues. How do I categorize these items?
A. These issues will usually be categorized under a heuristic related to what problems the design and layout issues cause for the user. If no other heuristic fits, "Aesthetic and Minimalist Design" is often a good choice for these types of issues.
Q. How do I test "Error Prevention"?
A. See Heuristic Evaluation - A System Checklist, #6. Error Prevention.
Q. What is "Flexibility and efficiency of use" and how do I test it?
A. See Heuristic Evaluation - A System Checklist, #8. Flexibility and Efficiency of Use.
Q. The application I am evaluating "violates" many of the heuristics. What should I do? Am I doing something wrong?
A. It is very common to find numerous heuristic violations in any website or application. The heuristics are simply a way of identifying, categorizing and communicating the ways your application can be improved, and should be viewed simply as helpful feedback.
