📄️ An Introduction to Usability Harmonics
Usability Harmonics adapts the Cognitive Dimensions of Notations framework (Green & Petre, 1996; Blackwell & Green, 2003) — originally developed for evaluating programming languages and notational systems — for the evaluation of complex professional software. The original framework provides a vocabulary for discussing design trade-offs informed by cognitive psychology; Usability Harmonics makes this vocabulary accessible and actionable for software designers.
