Abstract
There is a lack of widely-accepted analyst-centered metrics for evaluating analysts¿ experiences with interactive information visualizations for analysis. We report an approach for developing analyst-centered metrics that is built upon an understanding of human-interaction heuristics and the workplace needs and experiences of information analysts. We use human-computer interaction heuristics to inform new metrics. When there are no existing heuristics, analysts¿ needs and experiences inform new heuristics.
